The Mesan Alignment is revealed, and, for Honor Harrington and the Manticoran Star Kingdom, this means war!
Unintended Consequences
Sometimes things don’t work out exactly as planned.
The Mesan Alignment has a plan—one it’s been working on for centuries. A plan to remake the galaxy and genetically improve the human race—its way.
Until recently, things have gone pretty much as scheduled, but then the Alignment hit a minor bump in the road called the Star Empire of Manticore. So the Alignment engineered a war between the Solarian League, the biggest and most formidable interstellar power in human history. To help push things along, the Alignment launched a devastating sneak attack which destroyed the Royal Manticoran Navy’s industrial infrastructure.
And in order to undercut Manticore’s galaxy‑wide reputation as a star nation of its word, it launched Operation Janus—a false‑flag covert operation to encourage rebellions it knows will fail by promising Manticoran support. The twin purposes are to harden Solarian determination to destroy the Star Empire once and for all, and to devastate the Star Empire’s reputation with the rest of the galaxy.
But even the best laid plans can have unintended consequences, and one of those consequences in this case may just be a new dawn of freedom for oppressed star nations everywhere.

I give upMy first impression what a waste of money. My second impression the Editor should be sentenced to teach remedial English at a New Jersey junior high for 25 years to life. This book is disjointed, fragmented, and pretty much lacks a plot.
I suspect this is last David Weber I shall buy it was of money, the time spent reading it and the space on my hard drive. Mr Weber has spent to much time reading his own press clippings and not enough time writing. It 2 years to produce ..... This? I have read better fanfiction.Posted on

What happened?Seems Mr Weber has decided to establish a completely new storyline with small tid bits of the old. Took four chapters to get to something that I recognized. Not his best work. Not at all.

DO NOT BUY THE E-ARC!!!Yep, same Kreighund. Just finished this 'book', and I had thought, when I bought it that it would show what happened when Gold Peak entered Mesa. Maybe 20 pages had to do with that, the rest was completely un-needed back story and new planets, including the "vowels? we don't need no stinking vowels in our names" planet apparently added to boost the word and page counts. This is the most disappointing Weber book I have read. I have all of them except some of the treecat YA books and this is the first I have regretted buying the e-arc of.

Rehashed drek.923 pages. Sounds great, right?
Not so much. Only 80-100 of which were anything that even remotely pushed the Honorverse forward.
Gods, what's worse is i'll still end up buying the rest of the books, if only to see (i hope) how it will all goddamn end.
But I cant lie. I'm just not even remotely excited at the idea of a new Weber book anymore.Posted on
