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.

If it were a TV series, these two episodes would be called fillers.

Reminds me of last year's newspaper comment section. Half of the stuff you remember so you don't need additional info and/or new points of view, half you just don't care about after so long.

Was worried at the start and Happy and sad at the end

I was pretty worried when it started and it seemed like it was a lift from Field of Dishonor. but then he wrapped up sitting the time and place and we moved on. Every time Harkness came into the picture I started laughing and may have almost swerved off the road once. I look forward to learning more about the other characters during these critical times.

main story line was confusing

confusing start made the main story line hard to follow until half way through the book

More like book 4.5

This is not a continuation of the series, it is more a filling in of the back stories, around the Field of Dishonor time. I initially thought that I got the wrong book, since a lot of the characters were either lower ranked or dead, but since Field of Dishonor is one of my favorites I continued listening.

This fills in the back stories for multiple characters and after the first part of the book, dealing the the duel, Honor is rarely mentioned. While the story is good and you get more information about some of the other characters, it was a disappointment to not have the story continue.

A great revisit!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I actually enjoyed it more than field of Dishonor. You got to revisit that book from different points of view and you got to see how it was distressing for those that were peripheral to the central story. Thank you Mr. Weber for another enjoyable story.

Great Story

Expands and celebrates characters we enjoy and care about. An excellent addition to the Honorverse.

Always love more details

More detail on the duals, but skipped over the unpleasantness on Grayson. I hope the next book goes more into the Skydomes disaster and hits on that strange sport, "baseball".

Short Story with Copy-pasted filler from other books

I'm 11 hours into this 17 hour book and the character it's supposedly about may have had an hour of time with the rest being copy-paste of previously released books.

It's a short story with massive amounts of already released filler

Great Story

This was a great story with a nice tie in to the earlier books. It's also nice to hear about what else was going on while Honor was doing other things.

Replay of old text but adds context and depth to previous characters and scenes

I am in absolute awe of the honorverse series. It has captivated my attention for years now, but I must say I am disappointed with this new book. Using the term, NEW isn’t correct because it is entirely snips of previous books played out.

I realize the intent is to add context to background stories and what not but I had sincerely hoped for a continuation of the story line. To each their own, but I am left disappointed and I feel like my money spent on this book was a waste because I’m rereading material that I’ve already purchased.
