About this listen

First new Honor Jarrington novel in five years!

New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and international best-selling phenomenon David Weber delivers book 14 in the multiple New York Times best-selling Honor Harrington series, the first new Honor Harrington novel since 2013's Shadow of Freedom.

The Solarian League's navy counts its superdreadnoughts by the thousands. Not even its own government knows how enormous its economy truly is. And for hundreds of years, the League has borne the banner of human civilization, been the ideal to which humanity aspires in its diaspora across the galaxy.

But the bureaucrats known as the "Mandarins," who rule today's League, are not the men and women who founded it so long ago. They are corrupt, venal, accountable to no one...and they've decided the upstart Star Kingdom of Manticore must be destroyed.

Honor Harrington has worn the Star Kingdom's uniform for half a century and served her monarch and her people well. In the course of those years, the woman the newsies call the Salamander has grown from a tactically brilliant but politically naïve junior officer to supreme fleet command and a seat on the highest military and political councils of the Grand Alliance.

Very few people know war the way Honor Harrington does. Very few have lost as many men and women, as many friends, as much family as she has. Yet despite that, hers has been a voice of caution. She knows the Mandarins and the Solarian League Navy are growing increasingly desperate as the truth of their technological inferiority sinks home, but she also knows the sheer size of the League. And she knows how its citizens will react if the Grand Alliance takes the war to the League, attacks its star systems, destroys its infrastructure...kills its civilians. Today's victory, bought on those terms, can only guarantee a future war of revenge against a resurgent Solarian League and its navy.

The League is sliding toward inglorious defeat as it steadily loses ground in the Protectorates and the Verge. As its central government teeters toward bankruptcy and even some of its core systems opt to secede in the face of the Mandarins' corruption. As the Solarian Navy finally realizes it cannot face an Alliance battle fleet and win.

But the Mandarins have embraced a desperate new strategy, and in pursuit of that strategy, the SLN has committed atrocities such as the galaxy has not known in a thousand years. The League have violated its own Eridani Edict against mass civilian casualties, violated the Deneb Accords prohibition on war crimes.

And they have finally killed too many of the people Honor Harrington loves.

Hers is the voice of caution and compromise no longer, and the galaxy is about to see something it has never imagined.

The Salamander is coming for the Solarian League, and Hell is coming in her wake.

Decent read but not really an Honor Harrington bk

I liked the book for the most part but there was very little involvement of the title character until the last few chapters. The author clearly wants to expand the universe with other characters but it feels a bit like bait and switch. The first nine tenths of the book has a handful of space battles commanded by other captains and a few cameo-level appearances by Honor interacting with tree cats and friends.

What you might think of as act 2 is a very wordy series of political intrigue settings and scenes along with lots of tree cat narration. This became monotonous at one point. The underlying story is compelling enough to keep you pushing through but it is at best, "good" story telling but by no means great.

I've read all 14 novels and I'd definitely put this one at the bottom of the stack.

Honor for President

From the beginning, I have loved this series. From the characters to the physics, it all hangs together in a emotional, beautiful, believable.

The story and performance in this production are both top notch.

Can’t wait for the next one!

What a series!

Although I do love this series I am saddened by the losses that have occurred throughout the series. I hope to see Honor again but I hope she gets some much needed rest even if it’s only brief.

Allyson Johnson Does It Again

I have now been through the 14 core books of the Honor Harrington series in the past months and Weber's writing has as always been enjoyable and detailed. But for me, it is really the narrator's amazing talent that brings the series to life. I cannot possibly imagine keeping all of the voices and accents straight, yet somehow you know exactly who's talking and where they're from the moment she starts speaking for them. Her narration of heart-rending passages of tragedy tugs just right at all the heartstrings, and her straightforward but triumphant narration of moments of victory truly makes your heart soar. I am deeply grateful for her skill in bringing this series to audible and I look forward to hearing more from her again.

Great Story

Fantastic way to cap Honor's navy career. About my only criticism is that the culmination of the story could have been extended a bit.

Satisfying ending to the story!

Enjoyable if you remember Honor is a Fleet commander, and so can't be everywhere at once. The story goes on!
