What price victory? The war with the Republic of
Haven has resumed . . . disastrously for the Star 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.
Everyone knows Eighth Fleet is the Alliance's primary
offensive command, which makes it the natural assignment for
the woman the media calls "the Salamander."
But what most of the public DOESN'T know is that not only
are the Star Kingdom and its Allies badly outnumbered by the
Republic's new fleet, but that the odds are going to get
steadily worse. Eighth Fleet's job is to somehow prevent
those odds from crushing the Alliance before the Star
Kingdom can regain its strategic balance. It's a job which
won't be done cheaply. Honor Harrington must meet her
formidable responsibilities with inferior forces even as she
copes with tumultuous changes in her personal and public
life. The alternative to victory is total defeat, yet this
time the COST of victory will be agonizingly high.
