REPORTS OF MY DEATH HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED . . .
The People’s Republic of Haven made a tiny mistake when it announced the execution of Honor Harrington. It seemed safe enough. After all, they knew she was already dead.
Unfortunately, they were wrong. Now Honor has escaped from the prison planet called Hell and returned to the Manticoran Alliance with a few friends. Almost half a million of them, to be precise . . . including some who know what really happened when the Committee of Public Safety seized power in the PRH.
Honor’s return from the dead comes at a critical time, providing a huge, much-needed lift for the Allies’ morale, for the war is rapidly entering a decisive phase. Both sides believe that victory lies within their grasp at last, but dangers no one could foresee await them both.
New weapons, new strategies, new tactics, spies, diplomacy, and assassination. . . . All are coming into deadly focus, and Honor Harrington, the woman the newsies call “the Salamander,” once more finds herself at the heart of them all.
But this time, the furnace may be too furious for even a salamander to survive.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Undeniably the science fiction phenomenon of the decade, David Weber is often compared to C.S. Forester (the celebrated creator of Captain Horatio Hornblower) and is the recipient of critical praise worthy of Heinlein or Asimov. His hordes of voracious fans clamor for more and more Weber. Fortunately for them, Weber keeps steadily producing book after book with first printings that sell out almost immediately, then go back into printing after printing after printing.
His novels range from epic fantasy (Oath of Swords, The War God’s Own) to breathtaking space opera (Path of the Fury, The Armageddon Inheritance) to military science fiction with in-depth characterization (the celebrated and awesomely popular Honor Harrington series, Ashes of Victory being the latest installment).
Reviewers call Weber
“highly entertaining,” (Booklist). “
“outstanding . . . superb . . . excellent” (Wilson Library Bulletin),
“remarkable” (Kliatt), “the best” (Dragon),
“worth shouting about” (Philadelphia Weekly Press),
“great” (Locus),
“the best writer around today” (FosFax).
Readers call Weber similar things, but mostly they call the Baen offices several times a week demanding more from their main man. Weber lives in Greenville, SC and, in spite of having gotten married last year, shows no sign of slowing down. . . .
