Description

The Mesan Alignment is revealed, and for Honor Harrington and the Manticoran Star Kingdom, this means war!

Unintended Consequences

Sometimes things don't work out exactly as planned.

The Mesan Alignment has a plan - one it's been working on for centuries. A plan to remake the galaxy and genetically improve the human race - its way.

Until recently things have gone pretty much as scheduled, but then the Alignment hit a minor bump in the road called the Star Empire of Manticore. So the Alignment engineered a war between the Solarian League, the biggest and most formidable interstellar power in human history. To help push things along, the Alignment launched a devastating sneak attack that destroyed the Royal Manticoran Navy's industrial infrastructure.

And in order to undercut Manticore's galaxy-wide reputation as a star nation of its word, it launched Operation Janus - a false-flag covert operation to encourage rebellions it knows will fail by promising Manticoran support. The twin purposes are to harden Solarian determination to destroy the Star Empire once and for all and to devastate the Star Empire's reputation with the rest of the galaxy.

But even the best laid plans can have unintended consequences, and one of those consequences in this case may just be a new dawn of freedom for oppressed star nations everywhere.

Muddled Timeline & Excessive Emoting

The "Shadow" series of Honorverse books are frustrating in that they retread old fround - sometimes word for word - in multiple novels. I can't help thinking that, since the loss of the inestimable Jim Baen, Weber's book have grown more convoluted and less exciting.

The narrator tends to over emote the dialog. Part of that is not his fault though as the "good guys" are way too noble and and the bad guys are way too nebulous in their motivations and characters.

All too many of the dialogs morph into characters making speaches at each other rather than talking with each other. It's even worse for inner monologues.

Weber is also way to fond of the trail off transition. Almost every other scene ends with a charcter saying something like, "What I think we need to do next is..." This trikes me as weak writing.

TL;DR Weber needs an editor that he will listen to.
