Publisher's Summary

First new Honor Jarrington novel in five years!

New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and international best-selling phenomenon David Weber delivers book 14 in the multiple New York Times best-selling Honor Harrington series, the first new Honor Harrington novel since 2013's Shadow of Freedom.

The Solarian League's navy counts its superdreadnoughts by the thousands. Not even its own government knows how enormous its economy truly is. And for hundreds of years, the League has borne the banner of human civilization, been the ideal to which humanity aspires in its diaspora across the galaxy.

But the bureaucrats known as the "Mandarins," who rule today's League, are not the men and women who founded it so long ago. They are corrupt, venal, accountable to no one...and they've decided the upstart Star Kingdom of Manticore must be destroyed.

Honor Harrington has worn the Star Kingdom's uniform for half a century and served her monarch and her people well. In the course of those years, the woman the newsies call the Salamander has grown from a tactically brilliant but politically naïve junior officer to supreme fleet command and a seat on the highest military and political councils of the Grand Alliance.

Very few people know war the way Honor Harrington does. Very few have lost as many men and women, as many friends, as much family as she has. Yet despite that, hers has been a voice of caution. She knows the Mandarins and the Solarian League Navy are growing increasingly desperate as the truth of their technological inferiority sinks home, but she also knows the sheer size of the League. And she knows how its citizens will react if the Grand Alliance takes the war to the League, attacks its star systems, destroys its infrastructure...kills its civilians. Today's victory, bought on those terms, can only guarantee a future war of revenge against a resurgent Solarian League and its navy.

The League is sliding toward inglorious defeat as it steadily loses ground in the Protectorates and the Verge. As its central government teeters toward bankruptcy and even some of its core systems opt to secede in the face of the Mandarins' corruption. As the Solarian Navy finally realizes it cannot face an Alliance battle fleet and win.

But the Mandarins have embraced a desperate new strategy, and in pursuit of that strategy, the SLN has committed atrocities such as the galaxy has not known in a thousand years. The League have violated its own Eridani Edict against mass civilian casualties, violated the Deneb Accords prohibition on war crimes.

And they have finally killed too many of the people Honor Harrington loves.

Hers is the voice of caution and compromise no longer, and the galaxy is about to see something it has never imagined.

The Salamander is coming for the Solarian League, and Hell is coming in her wake.

5 stars is not enough.

I read the books and loved them, then passed them on to my daughter. Easily a 6 star read.

Recently began to listen to the audible books and it nearly broke my 45 year marriage.

The performance brought another dimension to the storyline. The only thing I took. While to adjust to was the pronunciation of’ manTICoran where I always read MantiCORan. Perhaps brings the performance back from a 7 star rating to 6. Great array of accents well done.

Thanks

A beautiful story and beautifully read.

There’s an ideal we, the ordinary people of the world, refuse to let go of: that we would be led by honourable leaders, ruled by righteous rulers and ministered to by holy priests.
We don’t expect our lives to be easy, and in time of war we understand that many of us will die before our time. We don’t resent this but we dream of having leaders and rulers that are worthy.
David Weber has constructed a beautiful universe, one in which this dream comes true. They are written convincingly, their universe is created convincingly and it is a pleasure to spend time with them.
Allyson reads the characters and the story so well I cannot think of a reader I have enjoyed listening to more.
11/10. Maybe more.

Disappointed with the reading

"Yards" instead of metres multiple times, several abrupt edits & other reading mistakes. A lower quality reading than expected from the earlier stories.
The book's story itself is very much as good as expected.
