"At All Costs" is the most recent book published in the main Honor
Harrington series (there are two adjacent series, "Crown of Slaves"
and "Shadow of Saganami", each with a sinble book; and there is a set
of anthologies; but they are all less recent than "At All Costs").

The English version of "At All Costs" ends with a battle at
Manticore that destroys Home Fleet; Honor's fleet is redesignated
"Home Fleet" at the very end. The deaths occur earlier.

It looks like the german publisher decided to split "At All Costs"
into two books and sell it separately, thus nearly doubling their
profit. Not unheard of. And since the original book is 800+ pages
long, perhaps not surprising.

They have additional costs

1. the right to publish the book
2. the cost of the translation

And the costs have to be gained with a lot of less books
than the english ones. The Baen Paperbacks are reprints.
The books are first published as Hardcover.

A speciality are the ARC versions (EBooks apearing before
the official release of the hardcover to especially high
prices).
