The Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Republic of Haven have been enemies for Honor Harrington's entire life, and she has paid a price for the victories she's achieved in that conflict. And now the unstoppable juggernaut of the mighty Solarian League is on a collision course with Manticore. The millions who have already died may have been only a foretaste of the billions of casualties just over the horizon, and Honor sees it coming. She's prepared to do anything, risk anything, to stop it, and she has a plan that may finally bring an end to the Havenite Wars and give even the Solarian League pause. But there are things not even Honor knows about. There are forces in play, hidden enemies in motion, all converging on the Star Kingdom of Manticore to crush the very life out of it, and Honor's worst nightmares fall short of the oncoming reality. But Manticore's enemies may not have thought of everything after all. Because if everything Honor Harrington loves is going down to destruction, it won't be going alone.

Slow ponderous, nearly impossible read. Sometimes so bad that the thought occurs that it was written by a committee of circular logic intent on DRAWMA. (new word meaning melodramatic drama driven past rational limitations.) LOL Most damning points, missing content on interludes connecting to other books. Having the Harrington family take major hits to it's member is just a lesson in sophmoric circular logic that she will respond more determinedly. Should be a 'freebee' as it is totally worthless. Sad thing is that it is NOT an Honor story, just more in a universe where she resides and that a writer(s?) have changed for wargaming reasons which are NOT particularly good or well written. The Ill logic of this change means that the new enemy wishes to conquer the Universe, yet the assets, funds, people used to confront Honor home would have been reaping hundreds of worlds to their banner. So like most megamaniac plots this one intently breaks down into unreasonable combat as the 'sport' of intense gentetic attacks. YUCK Worse the new alignment will be using fleets manned by genetic inferiors they have fooled into following them, NOT the supergenetic soldiery they are espousing. This muckle of idiocy is the all the writer(s?.) Thanks, Harry!Product details

Mission of Honor Honor Harrington Book 12 (Audible Audio Edition) David Weber Allyson Johnson Audible Studios Books Reviews
Excellent plot. It did get a bit deep into the technology theorized by the author. The technological description is more than offset by the wide ranging canvas of the Honor Universe, and the varied and fascinating characters throughout its pages. Some you love, some you hate, and some you may not be sure about. Space Battles, political intrigue, and spacefaring merchants and pirates. Humor, tragedy, revenge, despair, and hope are sprinkled through the pages. One word of warning, it will be easy to get lost if the earlier novels have not been read. I would definitely recommend this book but not as a stand alone story.
Oh for the days when Honor fired a pulsar at a foe or stood on the bridge of a smoking starship with Nimitz on her shoulder.
Nowdays she's just one character in many, going from meeting to meeting. And when she's not meeting, the other characters are meeting. And usually the first half of the meeting is a repetition of stuff from the last meeting. And despite all the meetings to explain things, a recall of the details of books read a decade or more ago still sometimes seems essential.
And for all the talking, certain things like how two key characters do show up on Haven or how exactly a Solarian admiral met her end, things that are known to some of the talkers, are never really explained.
That said, I love the Manticore saga, there are indeed a few of Weber's great space battles here, more of the Manpower/Mesa threat is revealed and I will continue on to the next book at some point.
Not as much action as earlier books in the series. This one concentrates on the political aspects and behind the scenes maneuvering. still a very good read. While I agree with another reviewer that all the "eyes narrowed" and "eyes hardened" lines got to be tiresome, what really bothered me was all the typos. The proof read people must have phoned this one in.There are dozens of lines with words in the wrong order or that don't belong at all. This creates a "stumbling" effect as you read it. You have to pause and figure out how the line should have been written. That pulls you out of the story and back to reality. Not good. If you are a fan of the series it's a must read but understand it's not the hard driving space warfare style of the early series.
Mission of Honor (Honor Harrington Series #12) by David Weber
This piece is the crowning of a three book arc that leads into the next arc of stories in the never-ending story of Honor Harrington. David apparently had originally meant to kill off this main character somewhere along the line but she's a bit more stubborn than that and just like all Manticorans - they don't 'run scared' worth a damn.
There is a lot to love about this book as long as you are okay with all the political and military procedural exposition. It looks like the focus is on a new set of bad guys so that all our hero's on both the Manticore and Haven fronts will get a break if they can just piece together a bit of peace between them.
We have in this book a parallel to the Pearl Harbor in a lot of life lost to a sneak attack. There is on awesome piece where David Weber focuses on Hamish as he observes Honor for the first time ever he gets to see the Salamander. It leaves him both chilled and in awe but you have to read it. I'd worry about it being a spoiler but its the inside page blurb piece in my book.
We get to see Michelle Henke in action again and she is almost a good at this stuff as Honor, but she admittedly doesn't have the cool detachment that is evident in the Salamander.
So of the last three novels this one and the previous are real gems though the one before them is a bit of a speed-bump at the beginning. Overall the three make a nice set and can be considered some of David Weber's best or hardest to get through depending on what the reader is looking for. I love characters over the procedure and exposition but I have to admit that David has won me over to his way of thinking for these books.
Yet another set the reader can love or hate or love to hate.
Great SFF for fans of the Military Political intrigue and procedure.
When the editors away the author will play-but I think he deserves the chance.
