I just read my review of Rising
Thunder and sadly I am going to cut and paste and use some of the same
words here. I loved the initial Honor
Harrington books. She plays a bit part
in this chapter of the continuing saga of Manticore. Haven and Manticore, Mesa and the Solarian League are all
back. Rear Admiral Michele Henke is the main
character in this book. It provides a
different, not much different, perspective on the Mesa Manticore conflict.
This book repeats the characterization of the entrenched
bureaucratic morass of the Solarian League.
This book also has the Manticore leaders finally realizing or at least
suspecting that they are being manipulated by Mesa .
This book is a disappointment in that it is extremely
repetitive. The same events are
repeated with a minor perspective change and it brings new meaning to Weber's
wordiness.
There are passages that evoke the same emotions of loyalty,
honor and courage that use to symbolize Weber's work. Sadly they are few and far between. It became a tedious read.
I do not recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
