The New York Times Best-Selling Series Continues. First Time in
Paperback. A New War for Honor Harrington's Comrades on Manticore.
Rear Admiral Michelle Henke was commanding one of the ships in a force
ledy by Honor Harrington in all-out space battle. The odds were against
the Star Kingdom forces, and they had to run. But Michelle's ship was
crippled, and had to be destroyed to prevent superior Manticoran
technology from falling into Havenite hands, and she and her surviving
crew were taken prisoner. Much to her surprise, she was repatriated to
Manticore, carrying a request for a summit conference between the
leaders of the two sides which might end the war. But a condition of her
return was that she gave her parole not to fight against the forces of
the Republic of Haven until she had been offically exchanged for a
Havenite prisoner of war, so she was given a command far away from the
war's battle lines. What she didn't realize was that she would find
herself on a collison course, not with a hostile government, but with
the interstellar syndicate of criminals known as Manpower. And Manpower
had its own plans for elimating Manticore as a possible threat to its
lucrative slave trade, deadly plans which remain hidden in the shadows.
