Cauldron of Ghosts has started changing around that disappointment. Now, I’m one of those readers who likes a good hefty book, so this has left me somewhat disappointed. In the past, Weber has been known for producing very large volumes in this series, but the more recent books in each of the three series (the main Honorverse series, the Crown of Slaves series, and the Saganami Island series) have been mostly under 600 pages, with a few being about 400 pages. They are accompanied by Thandi Palane and Yana Tretiakovna, who were both introduced in Crown of Slaves. In order to do this, they adopt new personas and new skins (literally) through the wonders of modern genetic and medical engineering. Victor Cachat and Anton Zilwicki, two of the main characters in the Crown of Slaves series, decide they need to go back to Mesa and try to find out more about what is happening with the newly-discovered Mesan Alignment and how it ties into events and situations all over the known universe. Books in all the Honorverse series have been building up to events which happen in this volume, though this book doesn’t wrap up all of them. Cauldron of Ghosts, by David Weber and Eric Flint, is the third novel in the Crown of Slaves series set in the “Honorverse”, the world of Honor Harrington.
