ReviewsPraise for the Honor Harrington series: "[A] fast-paced and action-packed story . . . builds . . . to an exciting and unexpected climax." -- Daily News of Galveston on Shadow of Freedom "Weber combines realistic engaging characters with intelligent technological projection and a deep understanding of military bureaucracy." -- Publishers Weekly on Mission of Honor "Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!" --Anne McCaffrey on Echoes of Honor "Star Wars as it might have been written by C.S. Forester . . . fast-paced entertainment." -- Booklist on Honor Among Enemies "Great stuff . . . compelling combat combined with engaging characters for a great space opera adventure." -- Locus on Field of Dishonor "This remarkable story will appeal to readers interested in warfare, science, and technology of the future or just in interpersonal relationships, an important part of the story. Gratifying, especially to female readers, is the total equality of the sexes!" -- Kliatt on The Short Victorious War ". . . an outstanding blend of military/technical writing balanced by superb character development and an excellent degree of human drama . . . very highly recommended." -- Wilson Library Bulletin on On Basilisk Station

SynopsisBook 2 in the internationally best-selling Honor Harrington science fiction series. First time in Trade Paperback! It's hard to give peace a chance when the other side regards conquest as the only option and a sneak attack as the best means to that end. That's why the Kingdom of Manticore needs allies against the Republic of Haven--and the planet Grayson is strategically situated to make a very good ally indeed. But Her Majesty's Foreign Office overlooked a "minor cultural difference" when they chose Honor Harrington to carry the flag: women on the planet of Grayson are without rank or rights and Honor's mere presence is an intolerable affront to every male on the planet. At first Honor doesn't take it personally; where she comes from gender discrimination is barely a historical memory, right up there in significance with fear of the left-handed. But in time such treatment becomes taxing and she makes plans to withdraw, until Grayson's fratricidal sister planet attacks without warning. Now, Honor must stay and prevail, not just for her honor, but for her sovereign's--for the honor of the Queen.
