War of Honor

About “War of Honor”

No one wanted another war. Thomas Theisman didn't. After risking his life and a fresh round of civil war to overthrow the Committee of Public Safety's reign of terror and restore the Republic of Haven's ancient Constitution, an interstellar war was the last thing he wanted. Baron High Ridge of Manticore was also content with the current state of affairs. He was happy with the war he had and planned to extend peace negotiations to continue benefiting from "hostilities only" tax measures. His Imperial Majesty Gustav of the Andermani Empire had his own plans for Silesia and believed he could achieve them without starting a war. Protector Benjamin of the Manticoran Alliance was also against another war, as his people had invested too much in the alliance. Honor Harrington, known as the "Salamander," certainly didn't want another war. She had seen too much destruction and understood the cost of war. Unfortunately, what they wanted did not matter.
