The Short Victorious War by David Weber

4.0

This is perhaps my favorite among the Honor Harrington series. Harrington's career is at just the right rank--a flag captain with great responsibilities but without the great demands of actual flag command--to create a great deal of excitement. The fact Weber devotes the book to covering the "eve" of the conflict Manticore and Haven have planned and dreaded for so long doesn't detract from the on the edge of the seat mentality either. The book is also a nice relief from the larger "brick" that was The Honor of the Queen. It is a good, fast-paced read that provides for an enjoyable few days of military SF.
