Review Summary
A outine convoy escort duty puts a band of brothers in harms way. The enemy, although well treated when captured, fails to reciprocate due to the arrogance of ruling elite ... is escape possible?
Ensign Pulver, Resident Scholar

Book 7 of the Honor Harrington series. Now she is outnumbered and outgunned, the only two options she has is to surrender or to have her command slaughtered. She surrenders and the People's Navy is supposed to treat prisioners honorably, but the politicans overrule them. They send Honor and her people to a prison planet and plan to execute her. But she does not give up, and with help she escapes.
Ed Phillips, Resident Scholar
