Peril and strife strike on a double front for Honor Harrington and company. After a brutal attack on the Manticoran home system, Honor Harrington and the Star Kingdom she serves battle back against a new, technologically powerful, and utterly nefarious enemy. And as if that weren’t task enough, Honor must also face down a centuries-old nemesis in the crumbling, but still mighty, Solarian League.
The war between the People’s Republic of Haven and the Star Kingdom is finally won and peace established, but grave danger looms - for there is a plan well on its way to completion designed to enslave the entire human species. Behind that plan lies the shadowy organization known as the Mesan Alignment.
Task number one for Honor is to defend against another devastating Mesan strike - a strike that may well spell the doom of the Star Kingdom in one fell blow. It is time to shut down and secure the wormhole network that is the source of the Star Kingdom’s wealth and power - but also its greatest vulnerability. Yet this is an act that the Earth-based Solarian League inevitably will take as a declaration of war.
The thunder of battle rolls as the Solarian League directs its massive power against the Star Kingdom. And once again, Honor Harrington is thrust into a desperate battle that she must win if she is to survive to take the fight to the real enemy of galactic freedom: the insidious puppetmasters of war who lurk behind the Mesan Alignment!

Any additional comments?
This book is primarily seting up the series for a new set of books. It actually starts prior to the end of the previous book in order to give aditional background information to frame the New struggle about to envelope the varius star nations.Great book for fans of the series

What made the experience of listening to A Rising Thunder the most enjoyable?
Strong female lead with old fashion values, like a female John Wayne.What other book might you compare A Rising Thunder to and why?
It's a sci-fi space series, I think one of the best.Have you listened to any of Allyson Johnson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, great narrator, easy too listen to, allows listeners to concentrate on the story not the narration.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
It would take a HBO (or the Like) series to tell the main story and this book is a small piece.Any additional comments?
Wish the author would write more books in this series faster!Love the series

I appreciate dramatic irony and a fleshed-out universe as much as the next reader, but I just Do. Not. Care about the Solarian League enough to want what this book had to offer.
I genuinely have no problem with the amount of politics, intrigue, and meetings that have cropped up as the series has gone on. Hnor is an admiral now, the story has expanded to include the Solarian League, just as Manticore has expanded to include part of Silesia and the Talbot quadrant. It makes perfect sense for the story to change the way it has with all of this in mind, and all too many of the people giving these more recent books bad reviews fail to realize that.
But this is too damn much. We get it. The Five Mandarins are arrogant. The League is decadent. The average "sollie in the street" is basically a peep dolist, and the League is going to have a bad time against the Grand Alliance. Cutting away from legitimately interesting Manticoran developments to shove in another chapter of evidence for well-established facts is just obnoxious though.
There was plenty to enjoy in this book, don't get me wrong. I still get misty-eyed thinking about Sorrow Singer, and the first half of the book in general is a good read, but after that it feels less like a rising thunder, and more like one long, monotonous drumroll that never goes anywhere.
Finally starting to agree with the whiners

It seems that the author explored all the possibilities with Honor and is moving on.
The other big change is the lack of space battle scenes.
I can still recommend this book for fans of the “Honorverse”
Story becoming less personal
