The familes who run the Peopple's Republic of Haven are in trouble. The treasury is emoty, the Proles are restless and civil war is imminent.

But the ruling class knows what they need to remain in power: another short, victorious war to unite the people and replenish the treasury. It's a card they have played often in the last half-century - always successfully - and all that stands in their way is the Star Kingdom of Manticore and its threadbare allies. Enemies who in the past have always backed down.

However this time Haven faces something different. This time they're up against Captain Honor Harrington and a Royal Manticoran Navy prepared to give them a war that's far from short... and anything but victorious.

For my birthday buddy :)

Thanks a lot!
I'm quite impatient to read this bok...
