Summary
Peril and strife strike on a double front for Honor
Harrington and company. After a brutal attack on the Manticoran
home system, Honor Harrington and the Star Kingdom she serves
battle back against a new, technologically powerful, and
utterly nefarious enemy. And as if that weren’t task
enough, Honor must also face down a centuries-old nemesis in
the crumbling, but still mighty, Solarian League. The war between the People’s Republic of Haven and the
Star Kingdom is finally won and peace established, but grave
danger looms–for there is a plan well on its way to
completion designed to enslave the entire human species. Behind
that plan lies the shadowy organization known as the Mesan
Alignment. Task number one for Honor is to defend against another
devastating Mesan strike–a strike that may well spell the
doom of the Star Kingdom in one fell blow. It is time to shut
down and secure the wormhole network that is the source of the
Star Kingdom’s wealth and power–but also its
greatest vulnerability. Yet this is an act that the Earth-based
Solarian League inevitably will take as a declaration of
war. The thunder of battle rolls as the Solarian League directs
its massive power against the Star Kingdom. And once again,
Honor Harrington is thrust into a desperate battle that she
must win if she is to survive to take the fight to the
real enemy of galactic freedom–the insidious
puppetmasters of war who lurk behind the Mesan Alignment!
