Mission of Honor: Honor Harrington, Book 12

De: David Weber

Narrado por: Allyson Johnson

The Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Republic of Haven have been enemies for Honor Harrington's entire life, and she has paid a price for the victories she's achieved in that conflict. And now the unstoppable juggernaut of the mighty Solarian League is on a collision course with Manticore. The millions who have already died may have been only a foretaste of the billions of casualties just over the horizon, and Honor sees it coming.

She's prepared to do anything, risk anything, to stop it, and she has a plan that may finally bring an end to the Havenite Wars and give even the Solarian League pause. But there are things not even Honor knows about. There are forces in play, hidden enemies in motion, all converging on the Star Kingdom of Manticore to crush the very life out of it, and Honor's worst nightmares fall short of the oncoming reality. But Manticore's enemies may not have thought of everything after all. Because if everything Honor Harrington loves is going down to destruction, it won't be going alone.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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.” ( Publishers Weekly)

A Must Have Series!!!

This is a series that will Hold You. If you want to give your brain and body a rest and go some place of wonder with many folks that become almost friends this is It. It is loaded with adventure, humor, love,war without being dark. I am waiting for March for next book. I am 69 and I do not do that very often. Go for this series.

At last...

I'll keep this simple. This book wasn't the best one in the "Harrington" series but this is a worthy addition to the ongoing series. This series is the best sci-fi I've ever read.

Details details details

David Weber is a complete writer, one that is in a league of his own. So much detail that I've gained an education. His writing let's you feel fully informed of the tech the characters and the universe. I read the Honor books years ago, but it never clicked like my latest read. Sci-fi comes alive and becomes sci-fact. What a joy! Simply a must read for every military sci-fi fan and a great first read too. Do yourself a favor and listen to the stories of Honor Harrington by David Weber, you'll love every moment.

One of the most incredible narrators ever!

I’ve written a review on the series, which I highly recommend. However, the narrator of this series is extraordinary! The variety of voices, the acting skills, the total suspension of belief and complete lete immersion into the story is GREATLY affted by this narrators talent! The number of accents, pacing and emotional intelligence conveyed in a unique manner mane thus the BEST listen!

Much Better

I had begun to lose faith in David Weber. The last few books of his that I had read seemed to lack completeness. They were more like parts of an ongoing soap opera than actual novels. I was very cheered to read this book and find closure of plot lines that had dragged on for the last several books. To me this book was much more like the earlier Honor Harrington novels that I had fallen in love with.
