<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The Mesan Alignment has a plan, one it's been working on for centuries: a plan to remake the galaxy and genetically improve the human race--its way. Until recently, things have gone pretty much as scheduled but then the Alignment hit two bumps in the road: one called the Star Empire of Manticore, the other named Honor Harrington. In order to undercut Manticore's galaxy-wide reputation as a star nation of its word, it launched Operation Janus--a false-flag covert operation to encourage rebellions it knows will fail by promising Manticoran support.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The Mesan Alignment is revealed, and, for Honor Harrington and the Manticoran Star Kingdom, this means war!</b> <p/><b><i>Unintended Consequences</i></b> <p/> Sometimes things don't work out exactly as planned. <p/> The Mesan Alignment has a plan--one it's been working on for centuries. A plan to remake the galaxy and genetically improve the human race--<i>its</i> way. <p/> Until recently, things have gone pretty much as scheduled, but then the Alignment hit a minor bump in the road called the Star Empire of Manticore. So the Alignment engineered a war between the Solarian League, the biggest and most formidable interstellar power in human history. To help push things along, the Alignment launched a devastating sneak attack which destroyed the Royal Manticoran Navy's industrial infrastructure. <p/> And in order to undercut Manticore's galaxy-wide reputation as a star nation of its word, it launched Operation Janus--a false-flag covert operation to encourage rebellions it knows will fail by promising <i>Manticoran</i> support. The twin purposes are to harden Solarian determination to destroy the Star Empire once and for all, and to devastate the Star Empire's reputation with the rest of the galaxy. <p/> But even the best laid plans can have unintended consequences, and one of those consequences in this case may just be a new dawn of freedom for oppressed star nations everywhere. <p/> <b>About <i>Shadow of Freedom</i>: </b> <p/> "This entry is just as exciting as Weber's initial offering . . .
