Crown of Slaves

This book takes place in the Honor Harrington universe, and it focuses peripherally on some of the characters from those books but also establishes its own. I really can't say much about the plot because I will totally spoil it. Picture a spy story in the Honorverse and you've got some idea of what to expect. And I will also say, teaming up with Eric Flint infinitely improves David Weber's writing. Unlike every other Honor Harrington book I have ever read, I can't imagine a single place where I would cut things out of this book. All of it is necessary and essential. Also, Flint's touch improves both Weber's romantic relationships and sense of humour. This book does not take itself nearly as seriously as Weber's other books, and I think that's a really good thing. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
