A Call to Insurrection by Weber, Timothy Zahn, and David Pope
This is part of the Manticore Ascendant Series which tells of the early days of the Manticore Star System long before anyone had heard of Honor Harrington. It's been so long since I read the previous three books in the series I had little to no idea of what was going on and this book refers to events in all of those books. I soldiered on.
Another shadowy group is sowing trouble in adjacent Star Systems to Manticore and Manticore sends off some people to help out. Meanwhile on the Manticore itself one of the spies is sent off to investigate the death of one of the Lords who died under mysterious circumstances. There are a lot of intertwined story thread going on. Of course there are a couple of big space battles.
I like this series since it relies on more on action at this point than talking about the action. The two other writers help to keep Weber in check.
Good fast fun read. Read the other books first.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
