"New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal" and international
bestselling" "phenomenon David Weber delivers the first entry in an
original young adult science fiction adventure series, the Star
Kingdom saga Young teen Stephanie Harrington forms a telepathic
bond with an intelligent alien treecat" "on a pioneer planet--and
must fight for the freedom of her new friend and his species
against highly-placed enemies determined to claim the world for
humans only.
Stephanie Harrington always expected to be a forest ranger on her
homeworld of Meyerdahl . . . until her parents relocated to the
frontier planet of Sphinx in the far distant Star Kingdom of
Manticore. It should have been the perfect new home --- a virgin
wilderness full of new species of every sort, just waiting to be
discovered. But Sphinx is a far more dangerous place than
ultra-civilized Meyerdahl, and Stephanie's explorations come to a
sudden halt when her parents lay down the law: no trips into the
bush without adult supervision
Yet Stephanie is a young woman determined to make discoveries, and
the biggest one of all awaits her: an intelligent alien species.
The forest-dwelling treecats are small, cute, smart, and have a
pronounced taste for celery. And they are also very, "very" deadly
when they or their friends are threatened . . . as Stephanie
discovers when she comes face-to-face with Sphinx's most lethal
predator after a hang-gliding accident.
But her discoveries are only beginning, for the treecats are also
telepathic and able to bond with certain humans, and Stephanie's
find --- and her first-of-its kind bond with the treecat Climbs
Quickly --- land both of them in a fresh torrent of danger.
Galactic-sized wealth is at stake, and Stephanie and the treecats
are squarely in the path of highly-placed enemies determined to
make sure the planet Sphinx remains entirely in human hands, even
if that means the extermination of another thinking species.
Unfortunately for those enemies, the treecats have saved Stephanie
Harrington's life. She owes them . . . and Stephanie is a young
woman who stands by her friends.
Which means things are about to get very "interesting" on Sphinx.

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.

What price victory? The war with the Repbulic of Haven has
resumed... disastrously for the Start Kingdom of Manticore. Admiral
Lady Dame Honor Harrington, Steadholder and Duchess Harrington, the
single victorious Allied commander of the opening phase of the new
war, has been recalled from the Sidemore System to command Eighth
Fleet.
Prince Roger MacClintock was a spoiled rotten, thoroughly useless
young pain in the butt. But that was before the Royal Brat and his
guards were marooned by an assassination attempt and had to march
half way around the planet. Under the right circumstances, even a
brat can grow up fast, and it turns out that under his spoiled
exterior, Prince Roger is a true MacClintock like his warrior
ancestors.
No one wanted another war. Now that the fighting between the Star
Kingdom and the Havenites had ended, the Andermani Emperor had his
own plans for Silesia, and he was confident he and his people could
achieve them without a war of their own. Unfortunately, what they
wanted didn't matter. . .
Decades of defending Manticore leaves Honor Harrington affecting a
lot of lives--and their actions affect her as she learns when a
desperate battle against "pirates" who aren't what they seem begins
her brilliant career. A secret that the treecats have kept from
their human friends for centuries is about to come out--and change
the relationship between the two species forever.
The first entry in a new teen series and the origin saga for the
bestselling Honor Harrington adult science fiction adventures.
Young Stephanie Harrington is the founder of a pioneering family
dynasty that is destined to lead the fight for humanity's freedom
in a dangerous galaxy.
