A Rising Thunder

It's time for another Honor Harrington book. I didn't even know this was out until I saw a mention on SF Signal. But my library delivered it in record time.

Unlike the last couple books, there were no competing side novels to fill in details and while there was a little backtracking in this book, it was in service to the story.

The story continues with Mesa making plans, Sol acting cavalierly, and Manticore preparing. The space combat is kept to a minimum as politics takes the center role, but we do see missiles fired. I'm trying to figure out a solution to the mess the characters are in, but do not see any easy or short-term solution. Just as the Haven war took 12 novels to solve, it will probably take another 12 to get to the end of this series. I expect I will be an old man before I see the conclusion.

I do look forward to the next book and hope it is worth the wait.
