David Weber himself gives us the tale of the first Grayson midshipwoman at a time when internal tensions threaten the Manticoran Alliance as people are reminded that the Peeps are far from the galaxy's only predators. In addition, John Ringo offers his unique blend of nonstop action and deliciously skewed humor in two stories; Eric Flint tells of an idealistic Havenite officer with a very important, very dangerous opportunity; Jane Lindskold introduces an extraordinary Grayson woman struggling to lead her sisters to freedom - or death - among the stars; and Timothy Zahn weighs in with the saga of the HMS Fearless, naval spies, dirty tricks, courage and honor. Stories of the "Honorverse" by five of the finest military SF authors writing today.
