Basilisk station

Captain Honor Harrington is not giving up

The first volume of a new series of war SF. Captain Honor Harrington of the Manticoran Kingdom's war fleet is drawn into a situation where she and an old space cruiser must fend off an attack by enemies.
The first volume of a new series of war sci-fi. The People's Republic of Haven is in economic trouble. Its leaders see the solution in war. The individual states will peel like a raspberry, but the hard nut to crack is the Kingdom of Manticore and the Basilisk Station in its path, commanded by Captain Honor Harrington. To this post, with inadequate weaponry and a critical error in the programming of her spaceship, she was relegated by intrigue in the highest political echelons of the Manticoran Kingdom and in the Admiralty Command itself. Patrolling the Basilisk system was not a duty station - it was exile and oblivion. However, with her foresight and wit, Harrington ensures the survival of the ship and the space station and averts the defeat of the Manticoran Kingdom.
