Publisher's summary

Honor Harrington has survived ship-to-ship combat, assassins, political vendettas, and duels. But this time, Honor and her crew, ambushed and captured, are aboard an enemy ship, bound for a prison planet aptly named "Hell" - and her scheduled execution.

Yet the one lesson Honor has never learned is how to give up. She and her people are going home - even if it means conquering hell to get there!

A Note from Author David Weber
There's been some confusion—not to say, um, energetic debate, readers and fans being readers and fans—about the correct pronunciation of "Manticoran." The truth, alas, is that a stitch was dropped. An error occurred. A mistake was made… and it wasn't Audible's fault. It was mine. Before Audible recorded the very first Honor Harrington book, narrator Allyson Johnson and I not only corresponded by e-mail but actually spoke to one another by phone. She wanted to make absolutely certain she had the correct pronunciations for names, places, star nations, etc., and I tried to make certain all of her questions were answered. And so they were. Unfortunately, at some point in the process, I replied to one of her e-mails by telling her that "Man-ti-core-ahn" was pronounced "Man-tik-er-ahn." Exactly how this happened is more than I can say at this point, except to blushingly disclose that the original e-mail remains intact, confirming to all the world that it was, indeed, my fault. I can ascribe it only to a temporary mental hiccup on my part and crave your forgiveness. If, however, you must blame someone for the mix-up, that someone should be me and not Audible, who have done everything they could to get it right.

Listen to another Honor Harrington adventure.

intense and intriguing

outstanding, intense and intriguing, a great follow up to the Honor story. wonderful performance to a great story.

Best read

Great books so far just waiting for the rest will get to them soon I hope

In Enemy Hands

I just love this series. I feel like they are all old friends. The last section of the book I could not stop listening. Everything had to stop while I finished the book. Can hardly wait to start the next book in the series. Johnson did a great job narrating the story. Was interesting about the group of cats on Grayson and how they seem to know when something happens. Honor's Mother is a delight.

not bad

I gave the performance 4 star s not because the woman reading it was not great it just that I would love to hear books done by more then one reader. These books to give them what they really need as the spoken word is at least 10 people reading the diff aparts.

Honor at her worst and best.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I loved having someone read this story to me.
My only complaint is a woman trying to imitate a man's voice is usually disappointing.And the same goes for the reverse.

What did you like best about this story?

Honor

Which character – as performed by Allyson Johnson – was your favorite?

Honor

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Honor sends Nimitz flying toward Cordelia Ransom,,I always hope he'll reach her in time to do some damage.

Any additional comments?

No.

First half 2/10 second half 9/10

So I nearly stopped reading when Honors daddy issues in wanting a man old than her father and her run away. I mean grayson was leery when she did stuff with a unmarried man. What would they say if she slept with a married man twice her age.

Adultry and sleeping with a commander and daddy issues of wanting approval of men in power nearly made me quit.

Yet the second half had great tension and worry. Yes some plot armor of how bad it could get for the MC but not much. Then the cliff hanger ending.

Second half was better than all other Honor books so far and ending much better then the constant deux machina last minute luck that normally saves her.

love the whole series!

the whole series is wonderful. I have listened to the books many times!
I also love the narration!

Allyson Johnson Rocks!

David Weber and Allyson Johnson, the pair extraordinaire. Really i am no writer and i don't review much but after hours and hours spent with these two wonderful friends i have to write and say how glad i am to have found them. Thank you Allyson and Thank you David. Just thinking about how many more works i will find as i look to discover more from both of them. Wow, what a joyride.

future readings

i wonder in the new Honor releases if Allyson Johnson learns how to pronounce Manticore and a few other words correctly! her reading other than these is great.

Always enjoy the overcoming of the insurmountable

Against cruel hatred and brutality Honor and her people bring swift judgment to their captors. Out of the frying pan and into the fire with confidence in the quality of the weapon at her command and the fierce determination of people.
