Publisher Description
Rear Admiral Michelle Henke was commanding one of the ships in a force led by Honor Harrington in an all-out space battle. The odds were against the Star Kingdom forces, and they had to run. But Michelle's ship was crippled, and had to be destroyed to prevent superior Manticoran technology from falling into Havenite hands, and she and her surviving crew were taken prisoner. Much to her surprise, she was repatriated to Manticore, carrying a request for a summit conference between the leaders of the two sides which might end the war. But a condition of her return was that she gave her parole not to fight against the forces of the Republic of Haven until she had been officially exchanged for a Havenite prisoner of war, so she was given a command far away from the war's battle lines.
What she didn't realize was that she would find herself on a collision course, not with a hostile government, but with the interstellar syndicate of criminals known as Manpower. And Manpower had its own plans for eliminating Manticore as a possible threat to its lucrative slave trade, deadly plans which remain hidden in the shadows.
Customer Reviews
story good, more politics than action, the reader was not the best for this novel
As the latest in the series, I enjoyed the installment. This seems to be more a "set-up" book than one with a complete store. There are many loose ends at the end of the book which have to result in action in the next one. My only real complaint about this books is the person who read it. While the book does not center on Honor Harrington, the few portions where she is, the person reading makes her seems almost hysterical which is definatly not her character in my opinon.
