About this eBook
HONOR BETRAYED
The People's Republic of Haven's sneak attack on the Kingdom of Manticore has failed. The Peeps are in disarray, their leaders fighting for power in bloody revolution, and the Royal Manticoran Navy stands victorious.
But Manticore has domestic problems of its own, and success can be more treacherous than defeat for Honor Harrington. Now, trapped at the core of a political crisis she never sought, betrayed by an old and vicious enemy she'd thought vanquished forever, she stands alone.
She must fight for justice on a battlefield she never trained for in a private war that offers just two choices: death . . . or a "victory" that can end only in dishonor and the loss of all she loves.
***
David Weber is the new Big Name in science fiction, and his dauntless Honor Harrington has conquered not only the enemy but the hearts of thousands of readers everywhere, who have been relentlessly demanding Honor's exploits in a more permanent form. And we're happy to oblige.
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Weber continues the saga of a loyal officer in pursuit of her duty. He doesn't disappoint in Field of Dishonor, but he does tend to over expound. Much of this tale could be better with less talk and more descriptive action. But make no mistake there is action enough to satisfy the most ardent. I did think the part of Honor meeting Summervale was wrong from many motivational levels, but this plot point is perhaps the only one to marr this tale.

not so much directed at this book but I'm done with the series. apparently the protagonist can do no wrong. and we are just told that everyone loves her. I couldn't come to believe it via events that actually take place. space battles were great though, but I think I'm now personally done with the series.

This novel in the series finally ties up some loose ends and Weber really
shows he is more versatile in his writing then the previous novels would
make you believe. A great character piece of writing that plumbs the inner
depths of protagonist and antagonist equally. This series is military space
opera at its finest!
