Ashes of Victory is the ninth book in the Honor Harrington series by author David Weber.
The People’s Republic of Haven made the small mistake of announcing the execution of Honor Harrington. It seems secure enough. After all, she is already dead. Unfortunately, they were wrong.
Honor escaped from the prison planet called Hell and returned to the Manticoran Alliance with a few friends. Almost half a million of them, to be exact, including some who know what really happened when the Public Safety Commission took over in PRH.
Honor’s return from the dead comes at a crucial time, providing a huge, much-needed boost to Allied morale, as the war is rapidly entering a decisive phase.
Both sides believe that victory is ultimately within their grasp, but unforeseeable dangers await them. New weapons, new strategies, new tactics, espionage, diplomacy and assassination, all of which are coming to the point of death, and Honor Harrington, the woman the newspapers called “Salamander”, a find myself at the center of it all again. But this time, the furnace may be so intense that even an iguana cannot survive.
