Honor Among Enemies by David Weber
4.0
Honor takes on pirates with an under-strength squadron as a means of rehabilitating her political standing in the Star Kingdom. This is the last of the main Honorverse books to not be centered around the main fighting with Haven.
Honor herself is, as always, a little too perfect to be believable but if you're this far in the series, you know what to expect. Weber further populates this installment with new and old interesting side characters (Foraker, Caslet, Harkness, MacBride, etc.) and gives readers a glimpse into the enlisted and non-com side of the Manticoran Navy. Even more interestingly, this book has a further look into treecats with the introduction of Samantha, a segue into further Honorverse stories.
One of the longer books in the series to this point, it does have the feel of a book that is transitioning from one place to another in a series, which, frankly, it is. Overall, fun and enjoyable.
