On Basilisk Station
HONOR IN TROUBLE
Having made him look
the fool, she's been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up
for ruin by a superior who hates her.
Her demoralized crew blames her for their ship's humiliating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station.
The aborigines of the system's only habitable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens.
Parliament
isn't sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is
smuggling; the merchant cartels want her head; the star-conquering,
so-called "Republic" of Haven is Up To Something; and Honor Harrington
has a single, over-age light cruiser with an armament that doesn't work
to police the entire star system.
But the people out to get her have made one mistake. They've made her mad.
