About this ebook
BACK FROM HELL
For eight bloody years, the Star Kingdom of Manticore and its allies have taken the war to the vastly more powerful People's Republic of Haven, and Commodore Honor Harrington has been in the forefront of that war.
But now Honor has fallen, captured by the Peep Navy, turned over to the forces of State Security ... and executed on the interstellar network's nightly news.
The Manticoran Alliance is stunned and infuriated by Honor's death and grimly resolved to avenge it. Yet their military is over-extended and the People's Republic is poised to take (he offensive once more, this time with a new strategy, new weapons, a new command team, and a whole new determination to win. The war is about to enter a phase of unprecedented ferocity . . . and the Alliance is on the short end of the stick.
But even as powerful Peep fleets hurtle towards their objectives, neither they nor the Alliance are aware of events occurring on a distant, isolated, inescapable prison planet called Hell. For what no one knows, not even State Security, is that Honor Harrington is not dead. She and a handful of her people are trapped on Hell, and determined to disprove the Peep boast that no one can ever escape it. Honor Harrington is going home, and taking her people with her... even if she has to conquer Hell to do it.

Whilst the detail is very good, I found the Peep personalities and politics pretty hard going and started to skip chunks of this tome. Still a remarkable achievement well worth a read.

David continues to draw a great yarn 🧶 of a tale as Honor keeps growing from strength to strength. The story also encompasses the Peeps fighting back, showing how worthy her foes are. However in fleshing out the Honorverse Weber uses too many upper echelon talking heads to set mood, tone, and scenery instead of man-on-the-street reactions. He eventually does this in later books, but it reduces the imagination of the audience.
