#18 in David Weber's multiple-bestselling Honor Harrington
series!
Michelle Henke, Queen Elizabeth of Manticore's first cousin, Honor
Harrington'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 to
inform her that the Mobius Liberation Front is prepared to rise in rebellion
against the hated regime President Svein Lombroso. She can understand why anyone
would 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-death
war against the Solarian League. Michelle has just handed the "invincible"
Solarian League Navy the most humiliating, one-sided defeat in its entire almost
thousand-year history in defense of the people of the Star Empire's Talbott
Quadrant. But the League is the most powerful star nation in the history of
humanity. Its navy is going to be back — and this time with thousands of
superdreadnoughts! Yet she also knows scores of other star systems — some
independent, some controlled by puppet regimes, and some simply conquered
outright by the Solarian Office of Frontier Security — lie in the League's
grip along its frontier with the Talbott Quadrant. As combat spreads from the
initial confrontation, the entire frontier has begun to seethe with unrest, and
Michelle sympathizes with the oppressed populations wanting only to be free of
their hated masters. And that puts her in something of a quandary when the
messenger from Mobius arrives, because someone's obviously gotten a wrong
number. According to him, the Mobians' uprising has been carefully planned to
coordinate with a powerful outside ally: the Star Empire of Manticore. Only
Manticore — and Mike Henke — have never even heard of the Mobius
Liberation Front!
