The Honor of the Queen is the second novel in David Weber's Honor Harrington science fiction series, continuing the conflict between the Kingdom of Manticore and the Republic of Haven.

The book explores themes of military strategy, diplomacy, and gender politics, culminating in a major space battle and solidifying Honor's role as a key figure in the interstellar conflict.
