This is it, the climax of the internationally best-selling Honor Harrington series—and Honor is in top form. The time has come: the Manticoran Star Kingdom and its allies go to war against the massive and corrupt Solarian Empire. After a tragic loss, Honor Harrington enters the fray once again. She’s filled with steely resolve, possessed of cold competence, and motivated by a fiery determination to take the fight to the enemy and end its menace forever.

THE WAR FOR THE FUTURE OF EARTH IS ON

Sixteen-year-old Randy Knox, a newly minted lieutenant in the U.S. Army, has been fighting the alien Creepers since he was twelve. At one point, it seemed the war was over when the aliens’ orbital battle station had been destroyed. But now a second Creeper orbital battle station has arrived. While returning to his home unit, Randy’s convoy is ambushed. Separated from his fellow soldiers and his K-9 companion Thor, Randy faces the ultimate horror of every American serviceman: to become a prisoner of war of the aliens.
