Ashes of Victory
 REPORTS
OF MY DEATH HAVE
BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED . . .
The People’s Republic of
Haven made a tiny mistake when it announced the execution of Honor
Harrington. It seemed safe enough. After all, they knew
she was already dead.
Unfortunately, they were
wrong. Now Honor has escaped from the prison planet called Hell and
returned to the Manticoran Alliance with a few friends. Almost half a
million of them, to be precise . . . including some who know what really
happened when the Committee of Public Safety seized power in the PRH.
Honor’s return from the
dead comes at a critical time, providing a huge, much-needed lift for
the Allies’ morale, for the war is rapidly entering a decisive phase.
Both sides believe that victory lies within their grasp at last, but
dangers no one could foresee await them both.
New weapons, new strategies,
new tactics, spies, diplomacy, and assassination. . . . All are coming
into deadly focus, and Honor Harrington, the woman the newsies call
“the Salamander,” once more finds herself at the heart of them all.
But
this time, the furnace may be too furious for even a salamander to
survive.
ABOUT THE
AUTHOR
Undeniably the science
fiction phenomenon of the decade, David Weber is often compared to C.S.
Forester (the celebrated creator of Captain Horatio Hornblower) and is
the recipient of critical praise worthy of Heinlein or Asimov. His
hordes of voracious fans clamor for more and more Weber. Fortunately for
them, Weber keeps steadily producing book after book with first
printings that sell out almost immediately, then go back into printing
after printing after printing.
His novels range from epic
fantasy (Oath
of Swords, The
War God’s Own) to breathtaking space opera (Path
of the Fury, The
Armageddon Inheritance) to military science fiction with
in-depth characterization (the celebrated and awesomely popular Honor
Harrington series, Ashes
of Victory being the latest installment).
Reviewers call Weber
“highly entertaining,” (Booklist).
“
“outstanding . . . superb . . . excellent” (Wilson
Library Bulletin),
“remarkable” (Kliatt),
“the best” (Dragon),
“worth shouting about” (Philadelphia
Weekly Press),
“great” (Locus),
“the best writer around today” (FosFax).
Readers call Weber similar
things, but mostly they call the Baen offices several times a week
demanding more from their main man. Weber lives in Greenville, SC and,
in spite of having gotten married last year, shows no sign of slowing
down. . . .
