Product Description
Product Description
Queen Berry of Torch was one of the targets of the unknown assassins. The former head of the Ballroom slave liberation organization, Jeremy X—now one of Torch's top officials, but still considered by many the most dangerous terrorist in the galaxy—calls in some past favors owed to him. In response, a security officer from Beowulf arrives in Torch to take charge of Queen Berry's security—a task made doubly difficult by the young monarch's resentment of bodyguards and the security officer's own growing attachment to her.
Meanwhile, powerful forces in the Solarian League are maneuvering against each other to gain the upper hand in what they all expect to be an explosive crisis that threatens the very existence of the League itself.

Starting to fill in the blanks,

This review is from: Torch of Freedom (Hardcover)
Torch of FreedomThis was one of the slowest of Mr. Weber's books I have read yet. Pages & pages of conversation, with all the action occuring in the final 10% of the book.
That Mesa and Manpower are, as usual, up to no good, and ploting some incredably destructive move on the rest of the Galaxie is stated, but not a hint of what's going to happen. With the time period between the publication of Honor Harrington books, the reader is somewhat frustrated at the wait to see what is actually going to happen. I am looking forward to the New Honor Harrinton book due next year, which hopefully, will fill in some of the blanks. I would personally also like to see further Prince Roger stories, which Mr Weber cowrote with John Ringo. Alex Turner

disapointing sequel,

This review is from: Torch of Freedom (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed the first Torch book "Crown of Slaves" but this universe is too slow paced to keep me interested. I work in an office so I don't want to read about other people's meetings.
I have given up on this series. Anyone want to buy this hardcover cheap?

Let justice be done, though the heavens fall.,
By
This review is from: Torch of Freedom (Hardcover)
A very good book. Three men; a good man in the service of evil he is only now awaking to, a cynical opportunist who can't believe he's willing to die for a slave's freedom, and a walking nightmare who knows he fights for the right. History and the course of empires will turn on three people who have to decide if they are willing to see the heavens fall to see justice done.Torch of Freedom
