The Star Kingdom has a new generation of officers! And this elite group hand-picked and trained by Honor Harrington herself is going to be needed immediately, as their first assignment turns out to be more dangerous than anyone expected. What was supposed to be a quiet outpost, far from the blazing conflict between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the People's Republic of Haven has actually been targeted by an unholy alliance between the slaveholders of Manpower.

Story5 out of 5 stars 9
Stephanie Harrington had always expected to be a forest ranger on her homeworld of Meyerdahl until her parents relocated to the frontier planet of Sphinx in the far distant Star Kingdom of Manticore. It should have been the perfect new home - a virgin wilderness full of new species of every sort, just waiting to be discovered. But Sphinx is a far more dangerous place than ultra-civilized Meyerdahl, and Stephanie's explorations come to a sudden halt when her parents lay down the law: no trips into the bush without adult supervision!

Publisher's Summary
Peril and strife strike on a double front for Honor Harrington and company. After a brutal attack on the Manticoran home system, Honor Harrington and the Star Kingdom she serves battle back against a new, technologically powerful, and utterly nefarious enemy. And as if that weren’t task enough, Honor must also face down a centuries-old nemesis in the crumbling, but still mighty, Solarian League.
The war between the People’s Republic of Haven and the Star Kingdom is finally won and peace established, but grave danger looms - for there is a plan well on its way to completion designed to enslave the entire human species. Behind that plan lies the shadowy organization known as the Mesan Alignment.
Task number one for Honor is to defend against another devastating Mesan strike - a strike that may well spell the doom of the Star Kingdom in one fell blow. It is time to shut down and secure the wormhole network that is the source of the Star Kingdom’s wealth and power - but also its greatest vulnerability. Yet this is an act that the Earth-based Solarian League inevitably will take as a declaration of war.
The thunder of battle rolls as the Solarian League directs its massive power against the Star Kingdom. And once again, Honor Harrington is thrust into a desperate battle that she must win if she is to survive to take the fight to the real enemy of galactic freedom: the insidious puppetmasters of war who lurk behind the Mesan Alignment!

Good, but not Great
the weakest entry, thus far. The first portions of the book felt like a review of the last, from a different perspective. While interesting to a degree, it also felt like padding, at first. the latter half felt like a return to form, but meandered at times.

Character focus lost
I understand the author had pitched to end the life of the titular character during the first Battle of Manticore and his publisher steered him away from that.
I also understand with all the Mesan sub-story he essentially retconned a conspiracy plot line to suit the “omnivores”.
But even as a long time fan of Yes Minister/Yes Prime-minister, there is only so much political maneuvering I can handle in one sitting, while the character I am invested in does things off screen.
Yes, an Admiral with uber weapons and great fleets does not make a great motivating agent to move the plot line forward, but neither is a story with back room intrigues parcelled out like this.
Shame really.

a short but boring entry.
running out of story? for a "short" book, it features a large amount of somewhat useless gassing on. I really didn't need a blow by blow of the royal wedding, sheer word padding. if not less talk, at least more action... please
