NO ONE WANTED ANOTHER WAR

Thomas Theisman didn't. After risking his life and a fresh round of civil war to overthrow the Committee of Public Safety's reign of terror and restore the Republic of Haven's ancient Constitution, an interstellar war was the last thing he wanted.

Baron High Ridge didn't. The Prime Minister of Manticore was perfectly happy with the war he had. No one was shooting anyone else at the moment, and as long as he could spin out negotiations on the formal treaty of peace, his government could continue to milk all those "hostilities only" tax measures for their own partisan projects.

His Imperial Majesty Gustav didn't. Now that the fighting between the Star Kingdom and the Havenites had ended, the Andermani Emperor had his own plans for Silesia, and he was confident he could achieve them without a war of his own.

Protector Benjamin didn't. His people had made too deep a commitment to the Manticoran Alliance, in blood as well as treasure, for him to want to risk seeing it all thrown away.

And Honor Harrington certainly didn't. The "Salamander" had seen the inside of too many furnaces already, knew too much about how much war cost.

Unfortunately, what they wanted didn't matter....

    To me this is the worse novel out of the series to date. I wanted to read a science fiction novel not one on politics. If I wanted a political novel I can think of quite a few better than this.

    Half way through I gave up. BORING. Pity really, as Weber had built a very interesting alternative universe in his earlier Harrington novels. It is also a pity he did not concentrate more on that than all the politics he appears to have a hang up on.

    After reading synopsis of the follow on novels where the majority of the leading characters are killed off, and Harrington AGAIN survives. I think this is where I call it a day reading the Honor Harrington books.

    800 pages, 90% of which is tedious geopolitical conversation and maneuvering. If you like that sort of thing then you will be in heaven. Otherwise, one can still extract a decent 200 page read by rapidly scanning a sentence or two per page and then immediately hitting the page advance key until a few pages appear that suit your interest in action or in a character that you still care about.

    AI, the issue with not being able to download to nook is easily resolved. Download the freeware program calibre. It is wonderful program that works across a wide range of items. It has even allowed me to download my personal novel to it so I can more easily proofread it.

    As far as the book, David and Dan agree completely. The politics are necessary for later books, world building, so to speak, but politics are slow.

    This is a customer support issue. I downloaded the epub version of the book so that I could read it on my Nook Touch.

    After copying the epub file over to my Nook Touch I attempt to access the book, and I get an error that "This Nook cannot read this file. It may be in an unsupported format." I was disappointed that I also could not find a way to contact Baen Books either with email or through their web site, to complain.

    Previous ebooks have worked fine.
