From multiple New York Times best-selling author David Weber and #1 New York Times best-selling author Timothy Zahn.
Cowriters Zahn and Weber do an excellent job alluding to events known to longtime. . . .
Heinlein and Orson Scott Card, Weber and Zahn are telling a story about a teenage character but writing for readers of all ages.--Booklist A new series set in the universe of Weber\'s popular heroine Honor Harrington gets off to a solid start.
Like Robert A. fans of both writers should be quite pleased with the result. . .
About A Call to Arms: The plotting is as solid as ever, with smaller scenes building to an explosive, action-packed crescendo, and the authors strike a nice balance between technical details of space flight and the human cost of war.--Publishers Weekly Praise for prequel A Call to Duty: This exciting book marks the first collaboration of two powerhouses . and how very, very fortunate they are that Travis Long is in it. . .
They\'re about to find out why they need the Navy .
After all, what does a sleepy little single-system star nation on the outer edge of the explored galaxy need with a navy? Unhappily for them, the edge of the explored galaxy can be a far more dangerous place than they think it is.
For that matter, they\'re pretty sure they don\'t need the Royal Manticoran Navy, either.
At the moment, there are powerful forces in the young Star Kingdom of Manticore\'s Parliament which don\'t think they need him.
But the one rule Travis Long absolutely can\'t break is the one that says an officer in the Royal Navy does his duty, whatever the consequences. and thinking outside them when other people don\'t. . .
The bad news is that two of the best ways of making enemies ever invented are insisting on enforcing the rules .
That talent has stood him--and the Star Kingdom--in good stead in the past, and it\'s one reason he\'s now a mustang, an ex-enlisted man who\'s been given a commission as a King\'s officer.
The good news is that Travis is one of those rare people who may like rules but has a talent for thinking outside them when everything starts coming apart.
Unfortunately, he lives in the real universe.
One where people follow the rules.
Lieutenant Travis Long of the Royal Manticoran Navy is the sort of person who likes an orderly universe.
This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Honor Harrington.
Book #2 in the Manticore Ascendant series, set in David Weber\'s Honorverse.
