Uncompromising Honor by David Weber

I’ve read more Weber than I can accurately recall.  This last couple I read, I felt, were not up to his standards.  This book returned to what I would expect from Weber.  Honor Harrington is back and as in the most recent books she is somewhat secondary in nature.   That changes toward the end of the book and she comes back as full blown Honor!   Simplistically, a formerly small star system, Manticore, has ended their war with The People’s Republic only to discover that they have been manipulated by someone.   The Solararian League is now the obvious adversary but long time readers know that they too are being manipulated.  Interstellar war and mayhem result.

Treecats got a little more verbiage in this story.  Someday I would like to see them featured in one of Weber’s books.   They were alluded to and they picked up some enhancements to their basic lethalness but disappointingly that upgrade was never utilized.  As usual Weber tends to wax eloquently and often wallows in verbiage but overall I thought this was far better than the last couple of his books I have read. 

Weber does portray loyalty and camaraderie quite well.

I enjoyed the book and recommend it.This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
