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 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 ancient and corrupt 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!
