For Captain Honor Harrington, it's sometimes hard to know who the enemy really is. Despite political foes, professional jealousies, and the scandal which drove her into exile, she's been offered the chance to reclaim her career as an officer of the Royal Manticoran Navy. But there's a catch. She must assume command of a "squadron" of jury-rigged armed merchantmen with crew drawn from the dregs of her service and somehow stop the pirates who have taken advantage of the Havenite war to plunder the Star Kingdom's commerce.

That would be hard enough, but some of the "pirates" aren't exactly what they seem... and neither are some of her "friends." For Honor has been carefully chosen for her mission - by two implacable and powerful enemies.

The way they see it, either she stops the raiders or the raiders kill her, and either way they win.

Not his best book. But also... a great book. It took sooooooo long to get into the action. But once we did, it was a great story, as expected. I liked more insight into the PRH.

I will say, If I'd have known how much rape was in these books... I'd probably have given it a pass. I'm trying to think if any of the books thus far have NOT mentioned it in some fashion, and I think no? It's generally handled well, with the "good" characters reacting appropriately. But also, c'mon. There are other plot devices for women, pls and thank you.

It did feel like, with all the setup... the final battle was kinda short-lived. But I almost view these books as one looooong book, so. We'll see. I'll definitely be reading the next one.
