A Rising Thunder by David Weber, released on March 6, 2012 by Baen Books, is the thirteenth novel set in the Honorverse in the main Honor Harrington series. This book was originally so large that it resulted in an editing decision to split it into two books, thus the delay in publication. As of January 2012 the next independent book has been finished; however the decision to publish it is waiting on the collaborative book with Eric Flint to first be completed.
