Way back when, I was buying Honorverse novels as fast as Weber could write them. (Main series, not the side stories.)
Then, I hit the one where some unknown force did something to turn one of Honor's trusted armsmen into a meat puppet in an attempt to assassinate her, while the mind of the armsman, completely disconnected from control of his body, frantically tried to stop what his body was doing.
Hit the end of the novel ... whoever did it was still unknown, not a clue who or what it was.
At that point, given the pace of new books, I wanted to hold off on reading more until I knew I could read through to where a defense/detection was found, whoever did this got revealed, and they got thrown alive into the Lake of Fire or some reasonable facsimile. Or some resolution of this issue, anyway.
And, I kind of lost track.
So, which book was this? I'm planning to go to a con where Weber is the GoH this fall, and I'd like to get back into it; read the rest of the books I haven't read yet.
