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.

Product ReviewVery disappointed, This and the other book could have been combined. Also the ending is such a let down considering the wait for the new book. Also what's the point of space battles when it's just missiles flying everywhere..boring. Lengthy book with little to say.

Product ReviewFinally, I don't feel hung out to dry. We find out what is going on with Mesa, the Earth League. The storyline worked for me completing several books.

Product Reviewwhat a disappointment! the last 2 mainline books, at all costs, and mission of honor, could have been merged, into a single book, and still had enough fluff cut out to be half the size they had been. how many pages of missals flying through space in a few seconds do we need? I stopped reading grisham cause his books were getting shorter and shorter. Webbers are getting longer, but he seems to have less than ever to say.

Product ReviewI have been a fan of the Honor Harrington books even since I accidentally stumbled onto 'On Basilisk Station'. But I am extremely dissappointed with Mission of Honor. It seems as time went along, less time is spent on Honor and more time on various supporting characters. It is frustrating for me as this is a mainline book and I would expect with a title of 'Mission of Honor', more time will be spent on Honor. Its even worse when after spending so much time on some of these supporting characters, they are suddenly and permanently removed from the plot. For me, Honor's fire seems to be missing from the book. All I got was a lot of meetings, empty talk, a resolution on the PRH-Manticore conflict which was all but shouted from Storm of Shadows and Torch of Freedom and one minor 'battle' which was more of a massacre. Mr Weber, what happened to the drive, the excitement and adventure that used to be found in the early books. 3 related books to finish a single arc? I'm not sure if I want to continue spending my money this way. This is one fan who would continue enjoying the early Honor Harrington books but I don't think I'll spend on any future Honorverse books.

Product ReviewThis book is pretty much what you'd expect from Weber - it's no literary classic, but it's an entertaining read nonetheless. If you liked the first 11 books, you'll like the twelfth.
That said, if you've been meaning to finish Torch of Freedom or Storm from the Shadows, do so before reading this book - their events play into the plot heavily, so MoH will spoil them both badly, and some parts will make less sense than you'd like the first time through if you don't know what happened.Posted on

Product ReviewAnother good entry into the Honorverse. There are some issues I hope get addressed in the editing stage, some threads that lead nowhere, some seemingly missing parts, some contradictions. On the whole, very enjoyable. I wish there were less time spent in meetings and more out doing things, though. It always feels like a third of most Honorverse books are spent in meetings. And maybe a bit too much internal dialogue. Don't get me wrong, I still love the books, but it can get somewhat distracting. I can't wait for the final copy of this book to see how much stays the same and how much is added or dropped. Two thumbs up.

Product ReviewThis book was a decent read, but frustrating. I feel like I got about half a novel's worth of story. The other half was made up of over-long rehashing of previous plot-lines and over-long enemy character development. About half way through the book I was eagerly expecting the events of the last chapter and what would come after that. Towards the end I wasn't even sure if he would get that far. He did, but just barely. I'm now somewhat ticked off that I'll probably have to wait another 18 months for another mainline book which won't get to the good stuff till half way through.

Product ReviewWhile yes, just about anyone could see the conclusion of "Mission Of Honor" from at least a book away, it's not just the end of the war. It's the end of the original story, the one that began on Basilisk Station. "Mission Of Honor" brings an end to the Haven-Manticore conflict while initiating the greater war against Mesa and the Solarian League.

Product ReviewCould. Not. Put. Down. Same thing I had with the latest Ringo book but in a totally different way. Really good book, not a really happy book though. Dang good read.
I literally truly finally understand now how Denis LePic feels to have Victor Cachat working for him. If youPosted on
