phenomenon delivers book #13 in the multiple New York Times
best-selling Honor Harrington series. Honor Harrington faces down a
powerful attack by a corrupt and powerful star empire while rooting out
a deadly plot to enslave the entire human-inhabited galaxy.
Peril and strife strike on a double front for Honor Harrington and
company. After a brutal attack on the Manticoran home system, Honor
Harrington and the Star Kingdom she serves battle back against a new,
technologically powerful, and utterly nefarious enemy. And as if that
weren't task enough, Honor must also face down a centuries-old old
nemesis in the crumbling, but still mighty, Solarian League.
The war between the People's Republic of Haven and the Star Kingdom is
finally won and peace established, but grave danger looms-for there is a
plan well on its way to completion designed to enslave the entire human
species. Behind that plan lies the shadowy organization known as the
Mesan Alignment.
Task number one for Honor is to defend against another devastating Mesan
strike-a strike that may well spell the doom of the Star Kingdom in one
fell blow. It is time to shut down and secure the wormhole network that
is the source of the Star Kingdom's wealth and power-but also its
greatest vulnerability. Yet this is an act that the ancient and corrupt
Earth-based Solarian League inevitably will take as a declaration of
war.
The thunder of battle rolls as the Solarian League directs its massive
power against the Star Kingdom. And once again, Honor Harrington is
thrust into a desperate battle that she must win if she is to survive
to take the fight to the real enemy of galactic freedom-the insidious
puppetmasters of war who lurk behind the Mesan Alignment!
