The Star Kingdom of Manticore and the
She’s prepared to do anything, risk anything, to stop it, and she has a plot that may finally bring an end to the Havenite Wars and give even the Solarian League intermission. 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 fleeting of the oncoming reality.
But Manticore’s enemies may not have thought of everything after all. Because if everything Honor Harrington likes is going down to destruction, it won’t be going alone.

When I read mission of honor all I could question my self was huh?? The last few books in this series have just been terrible. The plot is all wacked out with the new behind the scenes villain controlling everything to gain world domination, all so the huge war would stop with as small effort as possible. Now everyone can be friends. yup. Hay Lets go fight this new new evil guy together! Lots of stupid people doing lots of stupid things for most of the book. Reason for book, Peeps and manticore are now allies and they gonna go kick some terrible guy butt… in the last chapter of this freeken book.. 500 pages of words for this…………….. Lets place 10 chapters of filler describing how the evil terrible guy is gonna plot on a plot to do evil terrible guy plans to plot to plot and plot, did i mention that he is gonna plot? How about everyone else? they godda plot to plot for the plot too! WHEN THE SAME PLANS WERE DESCRIBED IN EXCRUCIATING (1 : causing fantastic pain or anguish: agonizing — ex·cru·ci·at·ing·ly –ti-l adverb) DETAIL IN THE PREVIOUS TWO 500 PAGE BOOKS, YUP.
P.S. All the ships and factories and stuff are recked again for like the third time so the next book is gonna have a huge plot to plot for the rebuild of the plans for more planed ships plans for like 10 chapters. yup. yup.
(what was the point of the last book again? $23.99, oOooooo man I am a sucker)

Mission of Honor (2010) is the twelfth SF novel in the Honor Harrington series, following At All Costs, Storm from the Shadows and Torch of Freedom. In the previous volumes, Honor ruined the Havenite fleet attacking Manticore. Gold Peak took out Admiral Byng’s flagship and accepted the surrender of the rest of the Solar League taskforce. Anton and Champion escaped from Mesa with Herlander.
In this novel, Honor Alexander-Harrington is a Manticoran Admiral, currently commanding Eighth Fleet. She is married to Hamis and Emily.
Hamis Alexander-Harrington is Count White Haven and First Lord of the Admiralty for the Star Empire of Manticore. He is married to Emily and Honor.
Elizabeth Winton is Empress of the Star Empire of Manticore. Since the Republic of Haven assassinated her parents and tried to kill her, she has strong prejudices against Haven.
Michelle Henke is Countess Gold Peak and fifth in line for the throne of Manticore. Mike also commands the Manticoran Tenth Fleet.
Eloise Pritchart is the President of the Republic of Haven. When Tom Theisman shot Oscar Saint-Just, Eloise brought back the Constitution of Haven.
Tom Theisman is the Secretary of War and the Chief of Naval Operations for Haven. His treecat name is Dreams of Peace.
Anton Zilwicki is a ex- Captain in the Manticoran Navy. He is the father of Helen and Berry. He is also the common law spouse of Catherine Montaigne.
Champion Cachat is a special officer — spy — for the Republic of Haven. He has been effective with Anton since the origins of Torch.
Albrecht Detweiler is head of the Mesan Alignment. He has plans for Manticore.
In this tale, Mike learns that seventy-one League superdreadnoughts are coming to Spindle. The Talbott government decides on a strategy of irritation and delay. Mike has most of her fleet hide in hyperspace or behind electronic countermeasures.
Meanwhile, Honor takes Eighth Fleet to Nouveau Paris. Eloise is brusquely awakened by Theisman after Honor’s fleet arrives insystem. Honor tells Eloise that she will be coming to the planet to start negotiations about ending the war. If necessary, Eighth Fleet will avenge her death.
The Mesan government issues a statement that implicates the Manticore government in the destruction within Green Pines. Elizabeth learns from Catherine that Anton and Champion were probably on Mesa. But persons who know Anton do not judge the accusations in the Mesan statement.
The Mesan Alignment Navy is inspection Manticore and Grayson. They are using a new interstellar drive that is much less detectable than impeller wedges. Even MAN has problems sensing these ships.
Later, MAN executes Oyster Bay. They unload packs of enhanced range missiles and newly developed torpedoes within the Manticore A and B systems and within the Grayson system. The packs are traveling toward their targets at twenty percent of lightspeed, but they have a long way to go.
This tale provides a better understanding of the Mesan Alignment and their allies. It also gives Manticore — and Haven — a more perfect look at these enemies. The Solar League still doesn’t have a clue.
This tale leaves Manticore with an incipient invasion of League ships. There obviously will be a sequel. Read and delight in!
Highly recommended for Weber fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of space navy combat, technological advances, and persevering humans. For anyone who is not familiar with these series, the initial volume is On Basilisk Station.

For me this book was worth waiting for and like most of Weber’s books it slowly pulls the reader into the drama taking place. The last book “Torch of freedom” was too me a waste of reading only because of the large amount of dead conversations and endless number of people that you had to keep in mind. “Mission of Honor” kept on track even with the large amount of dead conversations, I take place to favor the Peeps and so it was sad and frustrating to see them so defenseless against that overbearing queen of the star empire! I didn’t mind watching the Sollies get their butts kicked because they allowed themselves to judge in the hype of being so superior, when all along they had become weak, they remind me of the United States before Pearl harbor but like a sleeping dragon I do judge that the league will awaken at some point and woe to anyone that is in their path because now they have a name to focus on, to vent their frustration on and clean house of the dead beats who ran the league! Seeing the vaunted Star Empire brought low was a welcomed sight, watching Whitehaven and the queen and all the earls and dukes tense with real dread was wonderful lol!
I gave this book four stars because of all the extra verbage and wit in Mantacore’s navy, but in all-purpose I really loved the book and I hope the next book will be even better

The latest book in the Honor Harrington series ties a lot of loose ends together. Much that has been alluded to and side plots come together in this book to expalain why they were vital. The mesan alignment from torch+torch2 is finally fully on the go and their multi century plot is comming to fruition despite some setbacks and revisions. This shadow starnation that no one even suspected existed just knocked out maticore- the preeminant military power and winner of the Haven war- with a haymaker.
What will manticore do now. what can it do with a grinding war with the sollies looming? they don’t enen know who or what this new enemy is really.
It is obvious that more books will follow as Manticore tries to struggle back on its feet trying to hold off the massive solarian league while they do it. And when they find out who and how this was done to them- there will be hell to pay.
If you like HH series, this is a must read.

It has been a long time since Weber’s last road Honor Harrington novel. There are no surprises, everything is telegraphed. Weber has introduced so many characters, and each one has to have his/her scene where he/she reflects on the events that have happened and the events to come. And of course, there is so much back tale that has to be summarized that I would estimate 200 pages go to retelling previous material. Weber does set the stage for a 90 degree turn. Next book will have new allies and new villains, but this, as I have said, has been coming for at least the past 2 novels. I reflect he had better go the series along, because if he continues to drag things out, as much as we all like Honor, if nothing happens no one will care.
