Synopsis

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....

AudiobooksNow review by Christine on 2007-07-20 05:07:20

I just couldn't get into this book. The vast amounts of internal monologues by characters along with barely anything actually happening bored me within the first few chapters. Compared to the previous books in the series, which had a good mix of political intrigues and action, this one was disappointment.

Goodreads review by Derek on February 15, 2015

This series is beginning to get tedious. this volume contains about 75% more words than anybody could reasonably use, mostly to tell us tedious detail of the politics of Manticore. I know it's not really unbelievable that corrupt politicians could bend and break laws to their own benefit, and actuall......more

Goodreads review by Choko on March 30, 2025

*** 4 *** Probably the longest book of the series so far and has the least action. It is 90% political intrigue, 2% of very awkward romantic relationship ponderings, and about 8% space battles. I am one of those readers who love the politics and power machinations, so it was right up my alley, but I......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on March 09, 2018

Jedan od onih serijala koje volim da citam a jako je tesko objasniti zasto. Knjige su ogromne (prosek oko 800 strana), jako spore na momente i likovi kao i dogadjaji jako predvidljivi i na momente dvodimenzionalni. Ali opet kada se krene sa citanjem ima ono nesto sto drzi paznju, vuce da se dalje ist......more

Goodreads review by Jim on October 23, 2014

The basic story was again 4 stars, but this book is even thicker than the previous ones due to a lot of extra information that knocked it back a star. It wasn't always bad. There were a lot of interesting back stories & the universe is filled in to a large extent. Unfortunately, either through LONG......more
