Wrong number? There are two sides to any quarrel . . . unless there are more.
Queen Elizabeth of Manticore's first cousin and Honor Harrington's best friend, Michelle Henke, has just handed the ""invincible"" Solarian League Navy the most humiliating, one sided defeat in its entire almost thousand year history in defense of the people of the Star Empire's Talbott Quadrant. But the League is the most powerful star nation in the history of humanity. Its navy is going to be back—and this time with thousands of superdreadnoughts.
Yet she also knows scores of other star systems—some independent, some controlled by puppet regimes, and some simply conquered outright by the Solarian Office of Frontier Security—lie in the League's grip along its frontier with the Talbott Quadrant. As combat spreads from the initial confrontation,the entire frontier has begun to seethe with unrest, and Michelle sympathizes with the oppressed populations wanting only to be free of their hated masters.
And that puts her in something of a quandary when a messenger from Mobius arrives, because someone's obviously gotten a wrong number. According to him, the Mobians' uprising has been carefully planned to coordinate with a powerful outside ally: the Star Empire of Manticore. Only Manticore—and Mike Henke—have never even heard of the Mobius Liberation Front.
It's a set up . . . and Michelle knows who's behind it. The shadowy Mesan Alignment has launched a bold move to destroy Manticore's reputation as the champion of freedom. And when the RMN doesn't arrive, when the MLF is brutally and bloodily crushed, no independent star system will ever trust Manticore again.
Mike Henke knows she has no orders from her government to assist any rebellions or liberation movements, that she has only so many ships, which can be in only so many places at a time . . . and that she can't possibly justify diverting any of her limited, outnumbered strength to missions of liberation the Star Empire never signed on for. She knows that . . . and she doesn't care.
No one is going to send thousands of patriots to their deaths, trusting in Manticoran help that will never come.
Not on Mike Henke's watch.

It's hard to fathom that the man who wrote this, is the same man who wrote On Basilisk Station so many years ago, in many important ways these two books are almost complete opposites. On Basiliks Station was a tightly woven tale based around a single planet and really only looking over the shoulder of one main character. Shadow of Freedom jumps from planet to planet and focal character to focal character. Some of the characters don't really matter, while others could potentially be brought in to help explore new plot lines in the future.
Overall, as my review title indicates, this story is an improvement over Rising Thunder. It has all of the same flaws. It tries to cover too many plot lines and individual characters lives, it lacks a true focal plot line, and the level of dynasty epic politics involved really detract from the story overall.
This does expand on the other stories centered in the Talbott Sector of the Honorverse, with many of the character who appeared in previous books appearing again, but while the summary indicates that Michelle Henke is the main character, the truth is that the politics are the focus of hte plot. Numerous confrontatoins between the navy of Manticore and military units from the Solarian League take place during this book, but they have a very repetitive quality to them. It felt like David Weber didn't really have an opinion on most of the characters he was introducing, and since the vast majority are spear carriers, the lack of attention is only made more obvious as each confrontation occurs.
If you love the series and have read all the stories up to this point, this will be interesting, even while it fails to really add much to the overall plotline. If you were bored by Rising Thunder, stay far away from this book.
