“Basilisk”
A remote crossroads of hyper-space tunnels; a lonely base on a backwater planet belonging to semi-wild natives; a sanctuary of smugglers thrown to fate by the outpost of the star kingdom Manticore… And it is also the arena of the first battle in the coming war. And if Commander Honor Harrington had not led the defense of “Basilisk,” Manticore would have had no chance of winning.
