I'm beginning to suspect that the treecats are secretly evil beings with a long-term plan to conquer the galaxy.

Are you talking about Crown of slaves? I think that is the latest book in the HH universe, as far as I remember that Last book that had Honor herself was War of Honor, really good book btw.

*** Spoiler **** Spoiler *****

So what do you think Manticore is going to do now that the Peeps are on the Offensive, with twice the warships of the Manticore Alliance. I think that the lighter ships will begint to play a bigger role, being they are now armed with missile pods both internal and along the top and bottom.

Then again, I could be wrong

OMG! i didn't even know about Crown of slaves!!!

woot

but from what i've read so far, its not about HH

DAMN

but still, it seems like it takes place during the Last HH book, War of Honour

*** spoiler ***

as to what will happen for future fleet battles, it seems pretty clear that advanced missles and EW and lacs / fighters will be the winning combo...

esp with sidewalls in the front and back of the usually 'open' wedges which are weak

its really pretty cool - the tech in HH

Ya it more of a sequal to the first story in "The Service of The Swoard". No Honor though, and I don't think its going to have any space battles, or at the most maybee 1.

I've heard some mixed reviews, some love it, some don't. It brings to light many of the characters that were only touched upon in many of the HH books. I'll probably get it once its in paper back.

Wow, just saw the HMS Minotaur in action against the peeps. Go, LACs!

But Manticore seems to be losing the initiative. *Boo hiss*

What, now that Honor isn't around they're going to lose all their battles?

Just finished "Echoes of Honor" (I do believe that was the longest Honor novel to date) and starting on "Ashes of Victory".

I knew the scene where Honor Harrington was welcomed home aboard the superdreadnaught Honor Harrington was coming, but it still brought a tear to my eyes.
