My Take
I do like to catch up with all the books in a series. On the other hand, I hate to catch up when I’m terrified about what’s gonna happen next.
And, gawd, there is so much happening on so many fronts in Mission of Honor, and I was so terrified at what would happen I couldn’t decide if I should tear through the book or set it aside every few chapters to stave off the bad news.
While this particular story is supposedly about Honor with her diplomatic mission to Haven, the honors were shared fairly equally with Mike and her battles with the Sollies. I’m wondering if this is Weber’s way of easing Honor out of the picture…I sure hope not.
In the meantime, Manpower is very definitely flexing its hidden muscles with devastating consequences but things may not be going all their way for very much longer…
