Summary
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.

Absolutely PLYING Brilliant .
I must first say I liked the premise of Honor Harrington, and yes having Read C. S. Foresters Saga I did pick up on the HH Homage of HH. I am Very glad I had all 14 books to binge on. I only found these books last year and didn't realise they spanned 25 years. So now I am looking for the rest, and a reading order for same.

Finally
Several in this series have been unsatisfyingly inconclusive/rambling
So although we still dont know whats happening with the Mesan alignment this was as good as the best in this series

Not as expected
Typically well narrated as expected although the build up over so many books didn't bring the kind of resolution that I expected at all. Maybe a little padded out although still enjoyable for all the extra scenes and some great moments within.

Good story mediocre delivery
Narrator took me out of the story with a strange selection of accents that themselves fluctuated. Additionally a few words flummoxed her such as the pronunciation of phlegmatic

Well worth the wait...
I realise that there are many reviews for this book, but I feel I need to add my own. I love this series and have come to adore the style in which there are no 'good guys' or 'bad guys'. There are just people. Sure, I might dislike the antagonist faction of the series, but I still see them as humans, with understandable, very human reasons for their actions. Doesnt stop me from hating them or being damn scared of them :P
The way the story ends...its obviously the end to 1 arc of the plot, but I can see things still happening. And I want to find out how it all turns out! Heck, I would love another Spy series...this time with Zilwikie, Kachat and Harahap all working together...or heck, see what new mischief happens in the Talbot Sector. There are so many stories I want to see continue and finish. My main fear is that this will never happen.
'Please continue' is all I can say. That and 'thank you' for writing this.
