A NEW SOLO NOVEL IN DAVID WEBER'S NYT BEST-SELLING HONORVERSE "It
is our duty to pay for our liberty with our own blood. The freedom
that we shall win through our sacrifice and exertions, we shall be
able to preserve with our own strength." --Subhas Chandra Bose
Lieutenant Brandy Bolgeo has come home from the Battle of Hancock
station wounded in both body and spirit. She will need months to
regenerate her lost leg, but how long will it take to heal her
heart? She's come home to find that her wounds, her ship's brutal
damage, the deaths of so many friends, were the fault of an
arrogant, aristocratic coward who broke and ran in the face of the
enemy. Who left her ship to pay the price for his craven desertion
under fire. And whose powerful political allies are determined to
protect and preserve him at any price. They have held the
declaration of war hostage until Lord Pavel Young escaped the
consequences of his cowardice. They didn't care what it cost the
Navy. They didn't care what it cost the entire Star Kingdom of
Manticore. Their tactics have cost the Royal Navy the priceless
initiative as revolution and military purges wrack the People's
Republic of Haven, and that lost window of opportunity will cost
the Star Kingdom seventeen years of bloody warfare and hundreds of
thousands of deaths. Now Young is free to seek vengeance on the
people he feels have "wronged" him. People like Paul Tankersley and
Honor Harrington. Paid duelists, smear tactics, hired assassins in
public restaurants . . . . nothing is beneath Pavel Young. But
Captain Harrington can look after herself, and Pavel Young is about
to face the fury of the woman the newsies call the "Salamander."
Yet who will save the Star Kingdom from the consequences from the
repercussions of his actions? Women and men like Brandy Bolgeo are
about to pay the toll for the Star Kingdom of Manticore's honor.
