Storm from the Shadows
by David Weber

Perfidious Plots,
Courageous Resolve—and,
of course,
Starships Blown to Smithereens!

The Solarian League Navy has been the premier navy of the galaxy for centuries. Indeed, no one can remember a time when it hasn't been acknowledged as the most powerful fleet in existence.

Until now, that is.

A conference to end the terrible war between the Peeps of Haven and the Manticorean Star Kingdom is slated. Peace is finally within reach.

Yeah, right.

Not with the slaver conspiracy that calls itself Manpower, Inc. pulling intergalactic strings. The plan To plunge the Star Kingdom into a two-front war with Peeps and Sollies—a process calculated to blast Honor Harrington's home system to smoking ruin!

Assassination's afoot. And out on the galactic frontier known as the Verge, big trouble boils over as Solarian League arrogance butts up against the steely resolve of Harrington protégé Michelle Henke, aka Admiral Gold Peak.

Too bad for the Sollies. For Harrington's officers have a habit of coming through in the clutch and finding a way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. But most of all—whatever the odds—they never, ever give up the fight!

Shadow of Saganami sequel—and the latest entry in David Weber's astoundingly adventurous, phenomenally popular, and multiply USA Today and New York Times best-selling "Honor Harrington" saga!

"Following in the best tradition of C.S. Forester, Patrick O'Brian and Robert A Heinlein! These hugely entertaining and clever adventures are the very epitome of space opera."
Publishers Weekly.

"Weber's descriptions of space combat remain magnificent."
Science Fiction Weekly.

Enjoyed the story. A bit like SoS in that it's not about Honor. Introduces the Sollie plot line.

A little bit too much recapitulation at start, but after Henke is going to go to Talbott, it is a really good page-turner.

5. Joshua on 8/29/2009, said:

This is an okay read, but it's not the best book set in the Honorverse. A great deal of it is devoted to background information that, while doing wonders to explain the real cause of events in earlier novels, makes this novel a little dull. It does do some (not so subtle) foreshadowing as to where the main storyline is likely to go once the Star Kingdom has officially defeated Haven, assuming that's the direction Weber is taking the series. On another note, I personally despise books that end with cliffhangers; they fray my patience and force me to buy another book. If that describes you, then wait until at least one more Honorverse book has been released before you read this one. Last, a word of warning: as I believe Mr. Weber stated at some point, this book is out of sequence with events in books already published. More than half of the events in this book take place before or during At All Costs. If you're a stickler for continuity, read this before At All Costs, although you'll run across some spoilers if you do.

6. Beth on 8/21/2009, said:

Maybe a bit too much from all three viewpoints -- but then again I suppose the reader can read the side they are interested in & skim over the rest. Becomes very frustrating at the end, cliff-hanger & with intense looming danger that is akin watching someone preparing to kicking someone when they are down. Shame Torch wasn't published first -- it would make this 'ending' less depressing.

7. Doug on 7/20/2009, said:

Definitely good, not the best ever, but still better than like 95% of most other authors. I read the "oopsie version" first and even with the Davids side notes and such, it was damn fine stuff. Highly recommend it. Yes its not mainline HH, have you READ all the HH stuff? If so if fits in just FINE with the rest of the books. The story scope is now so big these side books are almost required. Quite enjoyed it. Oh and for the love of god, SOMEONE PLEASE TELL TOR BOOKS THEY CAN SELL THEM OVER HERE TOO. Like the new "By Heresies Distressed" Here TOO!

after reading this I am reminded of an essay I read written by the "Author?" Mr. Webber! In this essay he states his contract with Baen Books has him "Writing?" or contracted for 30+ books. So there you have it!

9. Peter on 5/13/2009, said:

Good, but not great. I felt I was alone in thinking that it was moving along a little slower than other HH books, that was until I read the comments of others. I didn't care that much for the cliff hanger ending, and the lack of real conflict was curious. The introduction of Mesa as a future foe, and the possible conflict with the Solarians is interesting, it will be interesting and entertaining to see where this take the story.

I doubt I'll buy any more of this series. David really needs a editor.
