Publisher's summary

Hounded into retirement and disgrace by political enemies, cut to the heart by the murder of the man she loved, and bereft of confidence in herself and her abilities, Captain Honor Harrington has retreated to the planet Grayson to take up her role as Steadholder while she tries to heal her bitter wounds.

But the People's Republic of Haven is rising from defeat to threaten Grayson anew, and the newborn Grayson Navy needs her experience desperately. It's a call Honor cannot refuse, yet even as she once more accepts the duty whose challenges she fears she can no longer meet, powerful men who hate and fear the changes she's brought to their world are determined to reverse them. They have a plan ... and for it to succeed Honor Harrington must die.

Two irresistible forces are rushing together to crush Grayson between them, and only one woman uncertain of her capabilities, weary unto death, and marked for murder-stands between her adopted planet and its devastation.

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.

slow burn to a great end

this on has a bit of a slow burn to start.

alot of world building, but in the last few hours the groundwork laid transforms into some of the best content so far.

can't wait to keep going.

Flag in Exile

I like 👍 the book very much . Because it made characters come to life

Sword fights, space battles, assassins and hero’s. Great stuff!

A dead zone of exhaustive politics in the middle are redeemed by heroic speeches and actions against evil and heinous plotters. So good!

outstanding

loved the story,
The Narrator is by far my favorite for the Honorverse story/series. would love this Narrator and a few others to get together and do the series together as different characters.

Great book!

I have listened to all of them up to this one and this one did not disappoint. The character development of the Graysons was really good. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Book 6 Awesome

Book 6. Another awesome Honnor Harrington novel by David Weber and narration by Allision Johnson.

A Great Story

I loved this book! It was an exciting adventure , the characters seemed real, and it was a great read! The voices were also fun to hear. Wooee...

Weber spins drama that draws one in & keeps us.

Even after the loss of her life's great love Honor arises victoriously from her drowning heartbreak. She overcomes the challenges of her enemies pogrom of slander and arises like the Valkyrie to ride into sure death but overcomes all.

Honor Harrington Universe Book 5

"Lemons and Lemonade "

House of Lords voted to exclude countess Harrington, and used it's political power to ruin her career, despite House of Commons support she was beached,put on half pay, her ship (NIKE) was passed on.

Instead of sitting and waiting for new assignment, which probably would never come, she decided to take care of business on Grayson, her Stadthold is growing, her investment was good, but you can't change everyone on the planet in just a few years.

It is not very far from "religious fanatic" to "terrorist".

The War continues, revolution in Peoples Republic of Heaven(PRH) doesn't' help the case, though the government policy changed, it's still singing the same tune, obvious reference to USSR and People Republic of China .

11 Prize Super Dreadnoughts given as a gift to Grayson by Admiral Alexander are almost fixed, PRH is getting ready for new offensive.

Grayson's understand, when god gives you lemons, you need to make Lemonade.

So they offered Grayson Space Navy (GSN) commission to the most experienced officer in the star system.

The next book in the series is "Honor among Enemies"

Flag in Exile

This is the fourth book in the series and I am sure glad I have listen to them in order. It makes it so much more enjoyable. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite series. Can hard wait to start the next one. The story provides fast pace excellent description of battle scenes. The back stabbing of politics and a view of various societies. Allyson Johnson is Honor Harrington, the book would not be as good without her reading.
