Someone is assassinating the leaders of both the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the recently liberated former slave planet of Torch. Though most believe the Republic of Haven is behind the murders, Anton Zilwicki and Havenite secret agent Victor Cachat believe there is another sinister player behind the scenes. Queen Berry of Torch narrowly escaped one assassination attempt, and a security officer from Beowulf has been assigned to protect her, a task complicated by the young monarch's resentment of bodyguards, and the officer's growing attachment to her. Meanwhile, powerful forces in the Solarian League are maneuvering against each other to gain the upper hand, not realizing or, perhaps, not caring that their power struggle is threatening the League's very existence and could plunge the galaxy into war.
Once again New York Times best-selling authors David Weber and Eric Flint join forces in an exciting new novel in the Honorverse.

Product ReviewThe non-linearity of the publishing order & in-world timeline is starting to confuse me.

Product ReviewChop the first three quarters of the book off and sell it based on that. Boring, boring, boring.

Product ReviewThe second half of the book really shines...better than the snippets/sample chapters...personally I think the CoS cast of characters is actually more fun than the mainline story

Product ReviewI thought Torch did a better job than Storm of moving the plot along and coming to an ending that isn't quite as much of a cliffhanger. Still can't wait for Mission of Honor, though!
