The Short Victorious War by David Weber
4.0
Honor Harrington's new command is the Nike, a name with a celebrated history in the Star Kingdom. She is assigned to Hancock Station as the Flag Ship for Admiral Sarno. Unfortunately, she arrives just as the People's Republic of Haven decides it it finally time to move on the Kingdom because they need a "short, victorious war" to pacify their people.
There is so much that happens within each of these books that it is almost impossible to do a summary that conveys the scope of the story without spoilers. That's part of the charm of the series. These are big sweeping sagas mixed with technical descriptions of space warfare.
Honor is wonderful character. She is not perfect, but she is good at what she does and she knows how to bring out the best in her people. I love these books and I very much like the reader, since I have been doing this as audio books.
