Story
Two generations after the Change, Crown Princess Orlaith struggles to preserve the hard-won peace her father brought to Montival - the former Western US. But the Change opened many doors, and through them, powers strong, strange, and terrible walk once more among humankind. With her fire-forged friend and ally Japanese Empress Reiko, Orlaith must take up her sword to stop the spread of the mad malignancy behind the Yellow Raja that has imprisoned her brother, Prince John.

Years of repeated attack. Have kept the remnants of the Japanese Nation, Fighting for their lives, unable to grow.
Now, The Evil Lords of Korea will face the anger and strength of Montival and all her allies.
Japan is hungry for revenge, along with Hawaii, and the Australian Nations.
All This power should be enough to win.
Then arrives the Sky-Blue Wolves of the Mongols. They are retaking the lands of their Historical Past.
Prince John, Returns from his adventure having almost lost life and limb. When his ship is blown halfway Around the World. With him comes His almost a Pirate Bride. Who finds herself part of a Royal Family, unlike anything she might have expected...What a fitting end to a World Class Set of Stories
If your not a FAN you most start with Dies The Fire. It lays the foundation for this New-Old World
Called Emberverse. We who have made the trip would not have missed it. I personally Reenlist every year or so and take this wonderful trip again. A Great Series never Loses its grip, It will always return you to the same action. the same life or death struggle. Yes, you will Mourn the Dead, Laugh with the Living, Cry with the Sorrowful.
Because that is Life and Life must be Lived, and all Life Comes to Its End

Would you consider the audio edition of Honor Bound to be better than the print version?
I like audiobook best I can listen anytime any place. No matter what I'm doing.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
All books by WED Griffin are written in a style I call (I Was There) the reader is part of the story. The characters are friends or those you works with. It is very easies to become part of the story
What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?
Dick Hill is one of my favorite readers
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I enjoy the whole series. I have it saved on a flash drive. I listen to the whole series once a year. The first book in a new series requires a lot of character development. Which is done well. The book has a few good twists and turns like all Griffins novels do.
Any additional comments?
As a US Veteran I can relate to the writing of WEB Griffin.
The reading of general orders.
The explanation of Chain of Command.
Helps set the time and place for each series.
As always a Big Well Done.
