  • Looking for a specific Honorverse novel

    From Mike Van Pelt@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 16 03:19:06 2025
    Way back when, I was buying Honorverse novels as fast as
    Weber could write them. (Main series, not the side stories.)

    Then, I hit the one where some unknown force did something
    to turn one of Honor's trusted armsmen into a meat puppet
    in an attempt to assassinate her, while the mind of the
    armsman, completely disconnected from control of his body,
    frantically tried to stop what his body was doing.

    Hit the end of the novel ... whoever did it was still
    unknown, not a clue who or what it was.

    At that point, given the pace of new books, I wanted to
    hold off on reading more until I knew I could read through
    to where a defense/detection was found, whoever did this
    got revealed, and they got thrown alive into the Lake of
    Fire or some reasonable facsimile. Or some resolution of
    this issue, anyway.

    And, I kind of lost track.

    So, which book was this? I'm planning to go to a con where
    Weber is the GoH this fall, and I'd like to get back into
    it; read the rest of the books I haven't read yet.
