A Rising Thunder
by David Weber is the thirteenth book in his science fiction, space opera
featuring the amazing Honor Harrington. After years of war between the star
nation of Manticore and the republic of Haven things were coming to an end when
a new enemy snuck in and attacked Manticore’s home worlds. Combined with rising
tensions with the Sol system this could spell trouble for Manticore.
Weber’s series features one of my favorite fiction
characters. Honor Harrington started out as a captain in the Manticore Space
Navy. Now she is one of the most powerful figures in her star empire. Filled
with politics, military strategy, and (at this point) more characters than I
can count, this is still one of my favorite series. If you are a fan of science
fiction, strong female lead characters, space opera, politics, military fiction
or just good story-telling, read this series. Start with this series, or the
companion young adult series about Honor’s ancestor Stephanie Harrington.
