This latest Honor Harrington novel brings the saga to another crucial
turning point. Haven has lost the war at the Battle of Manticore, but can Honor,
turning diplomat with the telepathic assistance of her tree cat Nimitz, bring
this gently but firmly home to Haven?


The Star Kingdom of
Manticore and the Republic of Haven have been enemies for Honor Harrington's
entire life, and she has paid a price for the victories she's achieved in that
conflict. And now the unstoppable juggernaut of the Mighty Solarian League is on
a collision course with Manticore. The Millions who have already died may have
been only a foretaste of the billions of casualties just over the horizon, and
Honor sees it coming.

She's prepared to do anything, risk anything, to
stop it, and she has a plan that may finally bring an end to the Havenite Wars
and give even the Solarian League pause. But there are things not even Honor
knows about. There are forces in play, hidden enemies in motion, all converging
on the Star Kingdom of Manticore to crush the very life out of it, and Honor's
worst nightmares fall short of the oncoming reality.

But Manticore's
enemies may not have thought of everything after all. Because if everything
Honor Harrington loves is going down to destruction, it won't be going
alone.
