A NEW ENTRY IN A BEST-SELLING SERIES. Book #2 in the Manticore Ascendant series, set in David Weber's Honorverse. This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Honor Harrington.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLieutenant Travis Long of the Royal Manticoran Navy is the sort of person who likes an orderly universe. One where people follow the rules. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Unfortunately, he lives in the \u003ci\u003ereal \u003c\/i\u003euniverse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The good news is that Travis is one of those rare people who may \u003ci\u003elike\u003c\/i\u003e rules but has a talent for thinking outside them when everything starts coming apart. That talent has stood him--and the Star Kingdom--in good stead in the past, and it's one reason he's now a \"mustang,\" an ex-enlisted man who's been given a commission as a King's officer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The bad news is that two of the best ways of making enemies ever invented are insisting on enforcing the rules . . . and thinking outside them when other people don't. But the one rule Travis Long absolutely can't break is the one that says an officer in the Royal Navy does his duty, whatever the consequences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At the moment, there are powerful forces in the young Star Kingdom of Manticore's Parliament which don't think they need him. For that matter, they're pretty sure they don't need the Royal Manticoran Navy, either. After all, what does a sleepy little single-system star nation on the outer edge of the explored galaxy need with a \u003ci\u003enavy?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Unhappily for them, the edge of the explored galaxy can be a far more dangerous place than they think it is. They're about to find out why they need the Navy . . . and how very, very fortunate they are that Travis Long is in it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout \u003ci\u003eA Call to Arms\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The plotting is as solid as ever, with smaller scenes building to an explosive, action-packed crescendo, and the authors strike a nice balance between technical details of space flight and the human cost of war.\"--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for prequel \u003ci\u003eA Call to Duty\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"This exciting book marks the first collaboration of two powerhouses . . . fans of both writers should be quite pleased with the result.
