A Rising Thunder (Honor Harrington Book 13)

Peril and strife strike on a double front for Honor Harrington and company. After a brutal attack on the Manticoran home system, Honor Harrington has rooted out a plan designed to enslave the entire human species. Behind that plan lies the shadowy organization known as the Mesan Alignment. Task number one for Honor is to shut down and secure the wormhole network that is the source of the Star Kingdom's wealth and power—but also its greatest vulnerability. Yet this is an act that the ancient and corrupt Earth-based Solarian League inevitably takes as a declaration of war.<br /><br />The thunder of battle rolls as the Solarian League directs its massive power against the Star Kingdom. And once again, Honor Harrington is thrust into a desperate battle that she must win if she is to survive to take the fight to the real enemy of galactic freedom—the insidious puppetmasters of war who lurk behind the Mesan Alignment!<br /><br />At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).<br /><br />A lifetime military history buff, David Weber has carried his interest in history into his fiction.  In the <i>New York Times</i> best selling Honor Harrington series, the spirit of both C.S.
