RIGHT WOMAN, WRONG PLACE
It's hard to give peace a chance when the other side regards war as the necessary prelude to conquest, and a sneak attack as the best means to that end. That's why the Kingdom of Manticore needs allies against the so-called "Republic" of Haven--and the planet Grayson is just the right strategic place to make a very good ally indeed. But Her Majesty's Foreign Office had overlooked a "minor cultural difference" when they chose Honor Harrington to carry the flag: women on the planet Grayson are without rank or rights; Honor's very presence is an intolerable affront to every male on the planet.
At first Honor doesn't take it personally; where she comes from gender discrimination is barely a historical memory, right up there in significance to fear of the left-handed. But in time such treatment as she receives from the Graysonites does become wearing, and Honor would withdraw if she could--but then Grayson's fratricidal sister planet attacks without warning and she must stay and prevail, not just for Honor's honor, but for her sovereign's, for--THE HONOR OF THE QUEEN.

Customer Reviews
Great Book, 2nd Edition not a big change
Great book in the Honor Harrington series. Very much worth reading. However, if you have the first edition, the only change her is a list of characters at the end of the book.
Great Book
I'm not even sure exactly why I liked this book so much - but I truly did. Will definitely continue with the series. Of note, there is a list of characters at the back of the book that can help you keep them all straight.
PULP Fiction, vacuous escapism
I read the first two books of the Honor Harrington series, and the whole time, I knew I should be reading something better. That’s the best I can say for these books.
