Summary

Sequel to national best sellers Torch of Freedom and Crown of Slaves, book three in the Crown of Slaves-Honor Harrington universe. Secret agent Anton Zilwicki and Victor Cachat return in this classic tie-in series set in David Weber's Honorverse.

Toil and trouble in the cauldron of ghosts

The Mesan Alignment: a centuries-old cabal that seeks to impose its vision of a society dominated by genetic rank onto the human race. Now the conspiracy stands exposed by spies Anton Zilwicki and Victor Cachat - one an agent of Honor Harrington’s Star Kingdom of Manticore, the other a Havenite operative. The outing of the Alignment has turned the galaxy’s political framework topsy-turvy. Old coalitions have disintegrated. New alliances have been born.

For starters, the long and hard-fought war between the Republic of Haven and the Star Empire of Manticore is not only over, but these bitter enemies have formed a new pact. Their common foe: the Mesan Alignment itself.

But more information is needed to bring the Alignment out of the shadows. Now, defying the odds and relying on genetic wizardry themselves for a disguise, Zilwicki and Cachat return to Mesa - only to discover that even they have underestimated the Alignment’s ruthlessness and savagery.

Soon they are on the run in Mesa’s underworld, not only hunted by the Alignment but threatened by the exploding conflict on the planet between Mesa’s overlords and the brutalized slaves and descendants of slaves who have suffered under their rule for so long. But if Zilwicki and Cachat succeed in rooting out the ancient conspiracy, a great evil may be finally removed from the galaxy - and on a long-oppressed planet, freedom may finally dawn.

I can't believe where this book ended

I feel like my life is ina hostage situation with where this story ended!! I will have to start a different sub-series to get to the 3rd book that will complete- this series. I love this whole Honourverse. I think Peter is improving as a narrator. He changed Victor's voice quite nicely in this book so I always knew when it was him. Now I will wait a few months and start the other books. I'm running too low on these books to read them too fast! #VictorsIrregulars #Bromance #AlignmentMustFall

Appalling narration spoils a good story

Would you try another book written by David Weber and Eric Flint or narrated by Peter Larkin?

I love David Weber's writing and the whole Honor Harrington series, but I can't finish this, the narration is so dreadful.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cauldron of Ghosts?

I haven't got to the end, I'll have to wait till I read the book.

How could the performance have been better?

Another narrator - almost anyone would be an improvement.
