In Enemy Hands by David Weber
4.0
This book ends on more of a cliffhanger than previous installments int the Honor Harrington series, and Honor's companions play a more prominent role in much of the action than she does.
I enjoyed learning more about Honor's mother, the treecats, and several of the Peeps (Theisman, Tourville, Honecker, Caslet, and Foraker, especially). The defection by Harkness has me fooled for quite a while, too, and I am glad he survived his crazy plan! The injuries suffered by Honor and Nimitz will prove to be a challenge, even if she is treated eventually by her mother at the new clinic back on Grayson.
I did find the extreme depth of Honor's despair to be almost too much. I realize it was compounded by her link to Nimitz while he was so badly injured, but it still seemed so over-the-top, even for her. Yet, when she found her core of strength in the brig, that rang true!
Can't wait to move on to the next book in the series!
