Summary
No one wanted another war.
Thomas Theisman didn't. Not after risking his life to overthrow the Committee of Public Safety's reign of terror and restore the Republic of Haven's ancient Constitution.
Baron High Ridge didn't. The Prime Minister of Manticore was perfectly happy with the war he had. No one was shooting anyone else at the moment, and his government could continue to milk all those "hostilities only" tax measures for their own partisan projects.
His Imperial Majesty Gustav didn't. Now that the fighting between the Star Kingdom and the Havenites had ended, the Andermani Emperor had his own plans for Silesia.
Protector Benjamin didn't. His people had made too deep a commitment to the Manticoran Alliance to risk seeing it all thrown away.
And Honor Harrington certainly didn't. The Salamander knew too much about how much war cost.
Unfortunately, what they wanted didn't matter....
A Note from Author David Weber
There's been some confusion—not to say, um, energetic debate, readers and fans being readers and fans—about the correct pronunciation of "Manticoran." The truth, alas, is that a stitch was dropped. An error occurred. A mistake was made… and it wasn't Audible's fault. It was mine. Before Audible recorded the very first Honor Harrington book, narrator Allyson Johnson and I not only corresponded by e-mail but actually spoke to one another by phone. She wanted to make absolutely certain she had the correct pronunciations for names, places, star nations, etc., and I tried to make certain all of her questions were answered. And so they were. Unfortunately, at some point in the process, I replied to one of her e-mails by telling her that "Man-ti-core-ahn" was pronounced "Man-tik-er-ahn." Exactly how this happened is more than I can say at this point, except to blushingly disclose that the original e-mail remains intact, confirming to all the world that it was, indeed, my fault. I can ascribe it only to a temporary mental hiccup on my part and crave your forgiveness. If, however, you must blame someone for the mix-up, that someone should be me and not Audible, who have done everything they could to get it right.

Great Listening
This is one of the larger stories and the action is about what I would expect to hear from one of the best in the series.
Narration is the usual high quality and after this long we get a real feel for the characters and the sense of the tension and excitement.
My favourite so far

David Weber is a master
I loved this book. It took me a few months to be ready to read it after book 9 . But I read this book in only 3 days because It was that gripping. David masterfully shows that there are two sides to every conflict and that you can like people on both sides. I found myself cheering for both sides and I had a minute to think about how its truly insane for people to kill other people in war...
Also, there's a whole catholic service in here well it was practically almost the entire service.
Hats off to David for another exceptional book!!

Slow but worth it
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Not unless they half read/listened to the rest of the series. On its own it would be slow as there are, as usual, a lot of politics and meetings but they do provide incredible background detail so you feel very immersed in the universe.
What did you like best about this story?
Very detailed background details and fully realised characters.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The final battle, though I won't say anything else due to spoilers.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I got angry and annoyed by the High Ridge government, to the point I hated the narrator's voice in those parts! I have listened to all the previous books in the series, that is hundreds of hours, so I am pretty invested in the Universe so they wound me up by getting everything wrong.

A love triangle no less …
I supposed it had to happen sooner or later. If HH has to have a love interest, could it not have been with someone with more personality and panache than Whitehaven? The narrator has changed his voice from ponderous and grandfatherly in the earlier stories to that of a younger sounding person, but, the die is cast, I’m afraid.
So, this is probably going to be my last Honorverse book. It was good while it lasted.

Way too much background, not enough action
Huge political background was too much for me. Needed more action which I love.
