Présentation de l'éditeurHonor est de nouveau dans la tourmente : les chroniqueurs mondains s'en donnent à coeur joie quand elle est aperçue dans une clinique d'assistance à la reproduction, et sa vie privée se complique encore - si c'est possible ! La guerre a repris. Certains jubilent qu'elle s'éternise. Or Manticore est en très mauvaise posture face à la République de Havre et, à en croire les projections d'effectifs, ce n'est pas près de changer. Honor est donc appelée à prendre la tête de la Huitième Force pour une série de petits raids offensifs destinés à pousser l'ennemi à redéployer ses unités. Mais le remède pourrait bien être pire que le mal et, dans l'effroyable bataille qui s'annonce, quel que soit le vainqueur, la victoire aura un goût amer.

Yesterday, the Star Kingdom of Manticore was a small, unimportant interstellar backwater, recently recovering from the Plague Years. Affluent yet lacking in trade appeal, it had little need for a navy and even less interest in funding one. However, Manticore has now become a target, facing an unknown aggressor. Queen Elizabeth I understands the urgency of discovering the enemy's motives and recognizes the necessity of a navy for her kingdom. Manticore also requires allies like the Republic of Haven and the Andermani Empire to bolster its trade and military expertise. Officers such as Travis Long and his wife, Lisa, are tasked with gaining that experience, while Travis's brother, Gavin, Earl Winterfall, must forge essential alliances as a novice diplomat. They are dispatched to the Andermani Empire, home to one of the galaxy's most formidable navies. Yet, upon arrival, they find the Andermani embroiled in civil war following the Emperor's death, complicating their mission. Caught in the midst of turmoil, Travis, Lisa, and Gavin must navigate these challenges and ensure their survival before they can achieve their goals.

Despite political foes, professional jealousies, and the scandal which drove her into exile, Capt. Honor Harrington has been offered a chance to reclaim her career as an officer of the Royal Manticoran Navy. But there's a catch. She must assume command of a "squadron" of jury-rigged armed merchantmen with crew drawn from the dregs of her service and somehow stop the pirates who have taken advantage of the Havenite War to plunder the Star Kingdom's commerce.

For over fifty years, the Terran Republic and the Terran League have been engaged in a relentless war, with a rising death toll and no resolution in sight. The elite members of the Five Hundred, residing in the Republic's Heart Worlds, remain indifferent, shielded from the conflict and benefiting from lucrative trade with the Rishathan Sphere. Rear Admiral Terrence Murphy, a Heart Worlder and part of this elite, enjoys privileges that allow his family to avoid military service and gain political power. Tasked with a seemingly risk-free military governorship in the remote Fringe System of New Dublin, he is expected to maintain the status quo and uphold the Five Hundred's dominance. However, Murphy is driven by a strong sense of honor and duty, believing there are hidden truths behind the façade of accepted narratives. Determined to confront these dark secrets and end the ongoing violence, he is prepared to challenge the interests of the Five Hundred. With unwavering resolve, he sets out to uncover the orchestrators of decades of bloodshed, ready to pay any price and face any consequence in his quest for justice. A gripping tale unfolds in this new addition to the universe of In Fury Born, one of David Weber's most acclaimed works.
