Product Description
The New York Times bestselling Honor Harrington novel is now in paperback! The new government of the Star Kingdom has brazenly ignored the wishes of Queen Elizabeth--threatening to end a shaky ceasefire agreement and destroy the very fabric of the Manticore Alliance against the terrorist Committee of Public Safety. As a senior political advisor, Honor has seen the cost of war on her people and vows to restore the Republic of Haven's ancient Constitution--or die trying.

Format:Hardcover
The latest installment in the Honor Harrington Series brings Honor back in to action in the Manticore fleet. With the peace still not settled between Haven and Manticore the political situation is as murky as ever. But now the andies are getting involved and the Manticoran government is really annoying their allies so it is all set for another explosion.
The treecats complicate matters again, and the conservatives use their chance to getback at their enemies, but not without it's own price!! This book sets to stage for a whole new set of problems to be faced.
This first hardback edition also comes with a CD containing electronic versions of all of David Webers novels to date, along with e-copies of books by other baen authors (friend of Honor). Even if the book weren't so good, it would be worth the investment for the CD alone.

When I were a lad (s they say in these parts), I became a great fan of Hornblower, and so I was delighted to discover his spiritual descendant in Honor Harrington. I'm also a fan of David Weber's other work. On that basis, I read and rather enjoyed this latest HH volume.
I do have to say, however, that the proportions of exposition to action are increasing, and I'd prefer abit more shoot-em-up and a bit less political theory. If you're coming to the series for the first time, I'd suggest one of the others ("On Basilisk Staion" or "The Honor of the Queen") as openers. If you're already a fan, you'll probably get reasonable value, although you might feel happier waiting for the paperback.

The Latest book to come from David Weber on his number one character - Honor Harrington.
Honor is back in the Star Kingdom and sent to look after the situation in Silesia. This volume expands the cast of players in the Manticore v Haven saga. The Andies are involved again, the Wormhole Junction is taking on new significance... Honor and Hamish have new obstacles to face and Smanatha throws a spanner in the works - again! The political situation is murkier than ever, and characters introducted in the anthologies make their appearance in the main story.
The first run of the hardback comes with a CD that includes e-copies of all the honor books to-date along with books from other Baen authors. It also includes high quality digital images of star maps and book covers. Included in the 'extra' books is the first 10 chapters of david webers' upcoming co-author work March to The Stars!! The CD alone makes the book worth the price, but the story is enough anyway! The next step in the story of the Star Kingdom of Manticore has been taken.

A great disappointment.
This 929 page book is a thoroughly unworthy addition to the Honour Harrington saga; a rambling work of commercial fiction, devoid of the fast paced action for which David Webber... Read more
