This time we’re looking at the third book in the Saganami Island part of the Honorverse story arc: Shadow of Freedom.
We’re solidly in the year 1922 PD and Admiral Michelle Henke takes care of yet more trouble presented by the Solarian League. This is tied to a scenario set up to make the Star Empire of Manticore look bad in a way that would cost them the trust of independent star systems moving forward. She exercises her command authority in the absence of specific guidance about this unforeseen and non-standard scenario confronting her, and does so in a way that would allow Queen Elizabeth to distance the Star Empire from the actions if necessary. Even so, the plot fails, the Star Empire succeeds, and the story ends in a cliff-hanger when Michelle is then able to turn her fleet’s attention toward an even more substantial threat.
The novel was long and there was so much to talk about that this became one of our lengthier episodes. We also had quite a bit of listener feedback we were able to share as well. Friends, heartfelt thanks to each of you who take the time to enjoy this adventure with us, and additional thanks to those of you who take a little more time to send us your thoughts! We definitely enjoy it when you join us in the conversation around the (virtual) kitchen table.
We rated “Shadow of Freedom” with a 5, a 5 and another 5 (out of 5), for an overall rating of a 5 from your hosts.
Once again, thank you for listening and big thanks to those of you who also take the time to like and follow us on social media, share this podcast with others, and to even comment on our posts.
Next, we’re going to return to the Crown of Slaves series as we dive into the third book in that arc: Cauldron of Slaves, co-authored by David Weber and Eric Flint.
