Just like Star Trek, the Honorverse has to race to develop the ominous cloud on the horizon posthaste or there's no shoe waiting to drop. There's just no Honorverse without some battle scenes. The SLN is neutralized, the Peeps are allies, the Andermani are no longer haters and the MA are forever in hiding. Unless RFC is going to import the cousins of the Ferengi, what can the next offering hold unless there's trouble percolating in paradise with the alliance, or the Andermani finally decides to spread its wings and threaten the Haven sector with that awful German language.
It is likely MAlign will only hide for so long. We've generally been told that UH was the last book in the arc but now we know there will be a Cachat and Zilwicki book. That will probably tie up a lot of loose ends.
THEN we move the next arc with Honor's children involved and their battle against MAlign.
You're right about an enemy. Of course, the problem really is that if Manpower's kind of slavery is off the board, the goals do not seem as bad. Of course, we are also beginning to see the beginnings of designer babies now. There seems to be at least one in China. That should bring a lot of current controversy into the whole thing.
