Summary
- #18 in David Weber’s multiple-bestselling Honor Harringtonseries!
- Michelle Henke, Queen Elizabeth of Manticore’s first cousin, HonorHarrington’s best friend, and the commanding officer of Manticore’s Tenth Fleet,is just a bit surprised when a messenger arrives from the Mobius System toinform her that the Mobius Liberation Front is prepared to rise in rebellionagainst the hated regime President Svein Lombroso. She can understand why anyonewould want to rebel against someone like Lombroso, but why tell her about it?After all, she has problems of her own, like the minor matter of a life-or-deathwar against the Solarian League. Michelle has just handed the “invincible”Solarian League Navy the most humiliating, one-sided defeat in its entire almostthousand-year history in defense of the people of the Star Empire’s TalbottQuadrant. But the League is the most powerful star nation in the history ofhumanity. Its navy is going to be back — and this time with thousands ofsuperdreadnoughts! Yet she also knows scores of other star systems — someindependent, some controlled by puppet regimes, and some simply conqueredoutright by the Solarian Office of Frontier Security — lie in the League’sgrip along its frontier with the Talbott Quadrant. As combat spreads from theinitial confrontation, the entire frontier has begun to seethe with unrest, andMichelle sympathizes with the oppressed populations wanting only to be free oftheir hated masters. And that puts her in something of a quandary when themessenger from Mobius arrives, because someone’s obviously gotten a wrongnumber. According to him, the Mobians’ uprising has been carefully planned tocoordinate with a powerful outside ally: the Star Empire of Manticore. OnlyManticore — and Mike Henke — have never even heard of the MobiusLiberation Front!
