SynopsisRear Admiral Michelle Henke was commanding one of the ships in a force ledby Honor Harrington in an all-out space battle. The odds were against the StarKingdom forces, and they had to run. But Michelle's ship was crippled, and hadto be destroyed to prevent superior Manticoran technology from falling intoHavenite hands, and she and her surviving crew were taken prisoner. Much to hersurprise, she was repatriated to Manticore, carrying a request for a summitconference between the leaders of the two sides which might end the war. But acondition of her return was that she gave her parole not to fight against theforces of the Republic of Haven until she had been officially exchanged for aHavenite prisoner of war, so she was given a command far away from the war'sbattle lines. What she didn't realize was that she would find herself on acollision course, not with a hostile government, but with the interstellarsyndicate of criminals known as Manpower. And Manpower had its own plans foreliminating Manticore as a possible threat to its lucrative slave trade, deadlyplans which remain hidden in the shadows., 1.
