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 nemesis in the crumbling, but still mighty, Solarian League. <p/>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. <p/>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.

And once again, Honor Harrington is thrust into a desperate battle that she <i>must </i>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! <p/><b>About <i>A Rising Thunder</i>: </b><br>"Intrigue and counter-intrigue heighten the tension in Weber's 13th Honor Harrington novel. . .as the author highlights the complex maneuverings of government leaders in this politically savvy. . .novel that bridges the gap between the last novel and the expected sequel."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/><b>About <i>Mission of Honor</i>, #12 in the Honor Harrington series: </b><br>"Weber combines realistic, engaging characters with intelligent technological projection and a deep understanding of military bureaucracy in the long-awaited 12th Honor Harrington novel...Fans of this venerable space opera will rejoice to see Honor back in action."-<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"This latest Honor Harrington novel brings the saga to another crucial turning point...Readers may feel confident that they will be Honored many more times and enjoy it every time."-<i>Booklist</i> <p/><b>About David Weber and the Honor Harrington series: </b><br>". . .everything you could want in a heroine....excellent...plenty of action."-<i>Science Fiction Age</i> <p/>"Brilliant!
