The Short Victorious War

In "Honor Among Enemies," the ruling families of the People's Republic of Haven face a precarious crisis as their treasury runs dry and civil unrest brews. In a bid to maintain their grip on power, they seek out a "short victorious war" against the Star Kingdom of Manticore. However, this time they confront Captain Honor Harrington and the formidable Royal Manticoran Navy, setting the stage for a conflict that promises to be neither short nor victorious.
