	Review of WAR OF HONOR by David Weber
		The Manticore government, now under the control of the venial Conservative Alliance, has gutted the navy, refused to negotiate seriously with the rebuilding Havenite government, and generally made life for Honor and the man she is falling in love with--Admiral White Haven.
		Still, Grayson's loyalties to Honor and White Haven are strong--strong enough that Grayson's navy is assigned to protect Manticore without permission of the Manticore government.
		Relying on Grayson to do nothing, especially when a large part of its fleet had disappeared, is the kind of mistake that Theisman should never have fallen into.
