A NEW SERIES SET
IN THE "HONORVERSE"OF
HONOR HARRINGTON
The Star Kingdom's ally Erewhon is growing increasingly restive in the alliance because the new High Ridge regime ignores its needs. Added to the longstanding problem of a slave labor planet controlled by hostile Mesans in Erewhon's stellar backyard, which High Ridge refuses to deal with, the recent assassination of the Solarian League's most prominent voice of public conscience indicates the growing danger of political instability in the Solarian League—which is also close to Erewhon.
In desperation, Queen Elizabeth tries to defuse the situation by sending a private mission to Erewhon led by Captain Zilwicki, accompanied by one of her nieces. When they arrive on Erewhon, however, Manticore's envoys find themselves in a mess. Not only do they encounter one of the Republic of Haven's most capable agents—Victor Cachat—but they also discover that the Solarian League's military delegation seems up to its neck in skullduggery.
And, just to put the icing on the cake, the radical freed slave organization, the Audubon Ballroom, is also on the scene—led by its notorious and ruthless assassin, Jeremy X.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
David Weber: New York Times best-selling Honor Harrington series, arguably the most popular series in science fiction, which has led to reviewers comparing him to C.S. Forester, celebrated creator of Captain Horatio Hornblower. Weber's work ranges from epic fantasy (Oath of Swords, The War God's Own) to breathtaking space opera (Path of the Fury, The Apocalypse Troll, Empire from the Ashes) to military science fiction with in-depth characterization (the Honor Harrington novels). With John Ringo, he inaugurated the Prince Roger series of space adventures with March Upcountry and has continued it with March to the Sea and March to the Stars. Weber and his wife Sharon live in South Carolina with their three children.
Eric Flint: is a new master of science fiction. His alternate-history novel 1632 received lavish critical praise from all directions and enjoyed high sales. The sequel, 1633, written in collaboration with David Weber, has also been highly praised and popular. His first novel, Mother of Demons, was picked by Science Fiction Chronicle as a best novel of the year. He has also shown a powerful gift for humorous fantasy adventure with Forward the Mage and The Philosophical Strangler, which Booklist described as "Monty Python let loose in Tolkien's Middle Earth." With David Drake he has collaborated on five novels in the popular "Belisarius" series, and is working on the sixth, The Dance of Time. A longtime labor union activist with a master's degree in history, he currently resides in Indiana with his wife Lucille.

Product ReviewHighly enjoyable sideshow to the resumption of the Manticore-Haven war begun with WAR OF HONOR, starring minor characters Havenite Secret Agent Victor Cachat and ex-Manicoran Intelligence Captain Anton Zilwicki. Weber's frequent co-writer Eric Flint's quirky Social Democrat hand is clearly in evidence, from the lengthy WEST WING-style political discussions to the unlikely alliances, friendships and romances that propel the story forward.

Product Reviewok, Took my 0wn sweet time starting this one.... I purchased it before it got to the free Library...story of my life.... still never regret reading it finally... sort of slow starter but built momentum as I got deeper into it and I appreciate the new characters being developed .... also great(I hope)for fleshing out a new Harrington book (I hope it is coming)... Victor, Anton, Jenny, Ruth, Berry, and Kaja would fit nicely into next 2-3 novels, my imagination sees great possibilities.... I have now read everything and except for 2 which I found at book store I've read all on line..... next book(please let there be another 10) I will buy without hesitation (and that's coming from a real tight wad)
