Reading

I just got the newest entry into the Honorverse at the library. David Weber and Tim Zahn have written a story of the early days of the Royal Manticore Navy, some 375 years before Honor and her contemporaries were born. The Navy is at risk of being broken up by politicians who begrudge spending money on defense (no, there’s no reflection of Weber’s politics in it. None at all. Why do you ask?) when there are many more domestic problems which could be solved with those funds.

It’s called “A Call to Duty”, and it’s good. It’s got the same kind of action as early Honor books did, with piracy and political chicanery as well.
CalltoDuty

Now if Weber would just get going on a sequel to “A Rising Thunder” in the main series, I’d be a happy camper. For a while. Until that’s published.
