Rent The Shadow of Saganami (The Saganami Island)

Synopsis

This work of military SF is the second Honorverse novel, set in the same milieu as the popular Honor Harrington novels but in which the officer herself plays only a minor role. A group of midshipmen, recently graduated from the Royal Manticoran Naval academy, are being shipped off to the Talbott Cluster, a small group of planets remote from the front lines of the battle being fought between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Republic of Haven. What looks like a routine mission--facilitating the Cluster's apparently willing assimilation into the Star Kingdom--turns out be complex and dangerous indeed, as the new graduates face a number of foes who strongly oppose becoming Manticoran.
