Beginning a new blockbuster series set in the "Honorverse"-
the universe of Honor Harrington. The Star Kingdom's ally
Erewhon is growing increasingly restive in the alliance
because the new High Ridge regime ignores its needs. Add
to that the longstanding problem of a slave labor planet
controlled by hostile Mesans in Erewhon's stellar back
yard, a problem which High Ridge also ignores. Finally,
the recent assassination of the Solarian League's most
prominent voice of public conscience indicates the growing
danger of political instability in the Solarian League -
which is also close to Erewhon. In desperation, Queen
Elizabeth tries to defuse the situation by sending a
private mission to Erewhon led by Captain Zilwicki,
accompanied by one of her nieces. When they arrive on
Erewhon, however, Manticore's most capable agent and one
of its princesses find themselves in a mess. Not only do
they encounter one of the Republic of Haven's most capable
agents - Victor Cachat - but they also discover that the
Solarian League's military delegation seems up to its neck
in skullduggery. And, just to put the icing on the cake,
the radical freed slave organization, the Audubon
Ballroom, is also on the scene - led by its most notorious
killer, Jeremy X.
