Synopsis

• Sequel to national bestsellers Torch of Freedom and Crown of Slaves, and Book Three in the Crown of Slaves ― Honor Harrington universe.
• The Mesan Alignment: a centuries-old cabal that seeks to impose its vision of a society dominated by genetic rank onto the human race. Now the conspiracy stands exposed by spies Anton Zilwicki and Victor Cachat ― one an agent of Honor Harrington's Star Kingdom of Manticore, the other a Havenite operative. The outing of the Alignment has turned the galaxy's political framework topsy-turvy. Old coalitions have disintegrated. New alliances have been born. But more information is needed to bring the Alignment out of the shadows. Now, defying the odds and relying on genetic wizardry themselves for a disguise, Zilwicki and Cachat return to Mesa ― only to discover that even they have underestimated the Alignment's ruthlessness and savagery.
