A Call to Vengeance

Book III of Manticore Ascendant

De: David Weber, Timothy Zahn, Thomas Pope

Narrado por: Eric Michael Summerer

After the disastrous attack on the Manticoran home system by forces unknown, the Royal Manticoran Navy stands on the brink of collapse. A shadowy enemy with the resources to hurl warships across hundreds of light years seeks to conquer the Star Kingdom for reasons unknown, while forces from within Manticore's own government seek to discredit and weaken the Navy for reasons very much known: their own political gain.

It's up to officers like Travis Long and Lisa Donnelly to defend the Star Kingdom and the Royal Manticoran Navy from these threats, but the challenge is greater than any they have faced before. Weakened but not defeated, the mercenary forces and their mysterious employer could return at any time, and the anti-Navy faction within Parliament is growing. The situation becomes even more dire when fresh tragedy strikes the Star Kingdom.

While the House of Winton faces their enemies at home, Travis, Lisa, and the other officers of the Royal Manticoran Navy must reunite with old friends and join new allies to hunt down and eliminate the forces arrayed against them in a galaxy-spanning conspiracy.

Manticore has learned that the universe is not a safe place, but the Star Kingdom's enemies are about to learn a lesson of their own!

The story gets lost in all the technical details

I have always enjoyed Weber’s balance of story and technical info, but he has tipped over into too technical for me. I’m sure many readers enjoy all the specs of weapons and tactics; I end up blurring over most of a chapter and losing the story events in the data flood.
I will still buy his work in print and audio. It is still very enjoyable. But!

Manticore is an excellent series

This book and all the others in this series are well worth the read and as an audiobook it was even better.

When is the next book coming out on audible!

Enjoyed immensely! It would have been easier for me to follow if there was a little longer pause between scene changes in the story.

Oh how the young Star Kingdom is!

I lkied the personal bits and polictical stuff more than the battles. That's because I can visualize those things.

good series

hasn't regressed like so many multiple book series of Weber's. please don't make the mistake of changing readers.
