<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this first entry of a new series set in the "Honorverse," the universe of Honor Harrington, the Star Kingdom of Manticore has alienated an ally it cannot afford to lose. A "Publishers Weekly" Best Book of 2003.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The Star Kingdom of Manticore has Alienated an Ally It can't Afford to Lose. Space adventure in the <i>New York Times</i> Best-Selling Universe of Honor Harrington-First Time in Paperback!</b> <p/>Beginning a new blockbuster series set in the Honorverse-the universe of Honor Harrington. The Star Kingdom's ally Erewhon is growing increasingly restive in the alliance because the new High Ridge regime ignores its needs. Add to that the longstanding problem of a slave labor planet controlled by hostile Mesans in Erewhon's stellar back yard, a problem which High Ridge also ignores. Finally, the recent assassination of the Solarian League's most prominent voice of public conscience indicates the growing danger of political instability in the Solarian League - which is also close to Erewhon. In desperation, Queen Elizabeth tries to defuse the situation by sending a private mission to Erewhon led by Captain Zilwicki, accompanied by one of her nieces. When they arrive on Erewhon, however, Manticore's most capable agent and one of its princesses find themselves in a mess. Not only do they encounter one of the Republic of Haven's most capable agents - Victor Cachat - but they also discover that the Solarian League's military delegation seems up to its neck in skullduggery. And, just to put the icing on the cake, the radical freed slave organization, the Audubon Ballroom, is also on the scene - led by its most notorious killer, Jeremy X.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>With more than eight million copies of his books in print and 33 titles on the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller list, <b>David Weber</b> is a science fiction powerhouse.
