La República Popular de Haven al fin ha encontrado a un almirante capaz de vencer a Honor Harrington, y esta cae en una emboscada. Superada en efectivos y en armas, solo le quedan dos opciones: ver cómo la gente que está bajo su mando es masacrada en una batalla inútil… o sellar la rendición de sus hombres —y la suya propia— ante los peeps.

Honor Harrington is the best at everything, and anyone who thinks otherwise is an evil doo-doo head. Sincerely, David Weber.

I remember a time when Honor Harrington wasn't the massive Mary Sue she is in this book. I hope future books return to that time. ( )

Honor is captured by the peeps, abused, and transported to prison planet. ( )

This is the episode when Honor is captured by the Peeps. Unfortunately, she isn't being treated as a military officer as the old charges from Basilisk have been resurrected and she is condemned to die.

Cordelia Ransom, who is the Peep's propaganda expert, is along and looks at Honor's capture as a terrific opportunity to gain positive publicity for her regime. No matter what her Naval officers try to convince her to do, she is determined. She has come to believe that her own skewed version of reality is actually reality. The Naval officers know that what she intends will have bad consequences for the Peeps in the form of bad publicity and lack of the secret support the Peeps have been getting from the Solarian League which is the only thing that is allowing them to keep up with the Manticorans and their allies. These actions will also have a bad effect on the Peeps' own navy too as shown by the two major Peeps military people who get swept up in Ransom's plotting.

Meanwhile, Honor is being badly treated by her captors from State Security. She has had her prosthetics disconnected which leaves her looking like a stroke victim and having vision in only one eye. She has been separated from Nimitz who was also badly injured.

But her own people aren't going to give up despite being prisoners themselves. And Horace Harkness finally gets to shine as he professes his allegiance to the Peeps and then subverts their computer system and plans the daring escape but not before they reach the prison planet known as Hell.

This was an exciting episode. I'm very glad that the next one is queued up for my next listening experience. ( )
