NOBODY WANTED ANOTHER Battle

Thomas Theisman didn’t. After risking his existence and a fresh circular of civil battle to overthrow the Committee of General public Safety’s reign of terror and restore the Republic of Haven’s ancient Constitution, an interstellar war was the last thing he wanted.

Baron Great Ridge didn’t. The Primary Minister of Manticore was properly happy with the battle he had. Nobody was shooting anyone else at this time, and so long as he could spin out discussions over the formal treaty of serenity, about War of Honor his government could continue steadily to milk all those ‘hostilities just’ tax actions for their own partisan projects.

His Imperial Majesty Gustav didn’t. Given that the fighting between your Star Kingdom as well as the Havenites got ended, the Andermani Emperor had his own plans for Silesia, and he was confident he could attain them without a war of his personal.

Protector Benjamin didn’t. His people got made as well deep a commitment towards the Manticoran Alliance, in bloodstream aswell as treasure, for him to wish to risk viewing it all tossed away.

And Honor Harrington certainly didn’t. The ‘Salamander’ got seen the inside of too many furnaces already, knew an excessive amount of about how much war cost.

Unfortunately, what they desired didn’t matter….
