It's hard to give peace a chance when the other side regards conquest as the only option and a sneak attack as the best means to that end. That's why the Kingdom of Manticore needs allies against the Republic of Haven-and the planet Grayson is strategically situated to make a very good ally indeed. But Her Majesty's Foreign Office overlooked a "minor cultural difference" when they chose Honor Harrington to carry the flag: women on the planet of Grayson are without rank or rights and Honor's mere presence is an intolerable affront to every male on the planet. At first Honor doesn't take it personally; where she comes from gender discrimination is barely a historical memory, right up there in significance with fear of the left-handed. But in time such treatment becomes taxing and she makes plans to withdraw until Grayson's fratricidal sister planet attacks without warning. Now, Honor must stay and prevail, not just for her honor, but for her sovereign's, for the honor of the Queen.

I like David Weber's writing. People have urged me to read the Honor Harrington series, so I finally started and really enjoy it. This is the second book in the series. Honor is a very real person, definitely not perfect, but darn good at what she does. She is honorable - as her name attests and she does what is right, not what is easy. I like that. All of the characters are portrayed as real people - some worse than others, of course. I don't see any as caricatures, but you know who the villains are. I like the naval battles in space - the technology seems natural and the explanations are brief but understandable. The right wins at the end, but the price can be high, and you leave knowing more trouble is to come. I did enjoy this book.
