Peril and strife strike on a double front for Honor Harrington and company. After a brutal attack on the Manticoran home system, Honor Harrington has rooted out a plan 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 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 takes 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!

Product ReviewIf you have been reading the Honor Harrington series, you probably want to read A Rising Thunder. Otherwise give it a skip. This is not Weber's best work.

Product ReviewMissed the space combat aspects of the previous books and the last few books in the Honorverse are beginning to feel like Russian novels given the sheer number of different players but they do have the feel of checking in on old friends.

Product ReviewIt will be much better when it is 'Now Available for the First Time in One Volume ..." the first half of A Rising Thunder and the second half of A Rising Thunder (whatever it may then be called).
Wait for the second half and read them together.Posted on

Product ReviewGlad I did not buy the ARC.
Just finished it. Somewhat disappointed. One of the worst things a publisher can do is split a book, especially like they handled this one. Also, I feel that DW is getting tired of writing space battles. There was none of the usual detail like the final battle of AAC, just the set up and then the aftermath.
There is also a lot of politics in this book. It is somewhat necessary since most long time readers of the HH series have absolutely no idea how the Solly pols think but I felt some of the exchanges went on much too long.
More battles less BS.Posted on

Product ReviewI sure am glad that I didn't buy the ARC. I'm not real happy at the regular price. I think that we may have another Tom Clancey on our hands.

Product ReviewWhen I can't even finish a Honor book thats the end. Half way through and NOTHING had happened.
Talk, talk, talk. The same things being said over and over. Previous comment was spot on, as far as this series goes we have another Clancy.Posted on

Product ReviewThis reads like a series of vignettes that Weber couldn't quite pull together as an Honor Harrington novel. It skips around the Honorverse, rushes to a finish leaving the reader dangling.

Product ReviewThe book was okay. Missing was the detailed naval actions that were the hallmark of the early HH series.
