Review Summaries
"Book 9 of the Honor Harrington series. She is back from the dead and a lot of things have changed. She has freed almost a half a million people, including some who can give the real story about the Peep's leaders. This gives a big boost to the Allies' morale. Both sides see victory and this might give the edge to the allies."
Ed Phillips, Resident David Weber Scholar
