With more than eight million copies of his books in print and 33 titles on the New York Times bestseller list, David Weber is a science fiction powerhouse. In the vastly popular Honor Harrington series, the spirit of C.S. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower and Patrick O’Brian’s Master and Commander lives on—into the galactic future. Books in the Honor Harrington and Honorverse series have appeared on 21 bestseller lists, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and USA Today. Additional Honorverse collaborations include the spin-off miniseries Manticore Ascendant with New York Times best-selling author, Timothy Zahn; and with Eric Flint, Crown of Slaves and Cauldron of Ghosts contribute to his illustrious list of New York Times and international bestseller lists.Best known for his spirited, modern-minded space operas, Weber is also the creator of the Oath of Swords fantasy series and the Dahak saga, a science fiction and fantasy hybrid. Weber has also engaged in a steady stream of best-selling collaborations: the Starfire Series with Steve White; The Empire of Man Series with John Ringo; the Multiverse Series with Linda Evans and Joelle Presby; and the Ring of Fire Series with Eric Flint.
David Weber makes his home in South Carolina with his wife and children.
Rear Admiral Michelle Henke was commanding one of the ships in a force led
by Honor Harrington in an all-out space battle. The odds were against the Star
Kingdom forces, and they had to run. But Michelle's ship was crippled, and had
to be destroyed to prevent superior Manticoran technology from falling into
Havenite hands, and she and her surviving crew were taken prisoner. Much to her
surprise, she was repatriated to Manticore, carrying a request for a summit
conference between the leaders of the two sides which might end the war. But a
condition of her return was that she gave her parole not to fight against the
forces of the Republic of Haven until she had been officially exchanged for a
Havenite prisoner of war, so she was given a command far away from the war's
battle lines. What she didn't realize was that she would find herself on a
collision course, not with a hostile government, but with the interstellar
syndicate of criminals known as Manpower. And Manpower had its own plans for
eliminating Manticore as a possible threat to its lucrative slave trade, deadly
plans which remain hidden in the shadows.
