Anyone read Honor Harrington?

So the sequel to In Death Ground is Shiva Directive? COOL!! Ive been waiting years for the sequel. There are a few other books in the series, Insurrection, Crusade, and Path of the Fury but I didnt think that they were as good as In Death Ground. It seems though, that Weber is spending all his time with Honor Harrington so we could be waiting quite some time for Shiva Directive to come out, but I can wait patiently...maybe. Thanks for the info wilcoxon. Be sure and let us all know when you get done modifying the tech to match GSF, Ive been looking to download some new tech trees but havent found any to my liking. Like I said, Id try and do a mod but I dont have the patience for it at all, plus Im no artist, but Ive got a little vacation coming up in a few weeks so I may play with mods then and see what I can work out. Ive got text files on all of the Starfire empires and Ive got 2 shtml documents, 1 with a galactic map and the other something about battles (though, I cant seem to open these files now for some reason). Though I might have to look into picking up that 4th edition.

According to Webers homepage he has done his part of the work on Shiva Option and sent it off to Steve White for him to do his bit (I assume i will then go back and forth a few times for minor revisions).

No idea on release date but Weber is not the bottleneck.

The hyper-space idea might be modded in, what you need is a component that opens a warp point, moves the ship through, and closes it the same turn, the tricky part I think is having it give the order to move the ship through before closing the warp point off.

I do something similiar with very expensive ships called warpers which I build using steller manipulation, but I have to open and close the points manually, and can move entire fleets through before deciding to close the warp point, this component though would let ONLY that one ship move through the warp point before closing it off automatically.

Oh really? Cool. Hey Husky65 what is Weber's homepage address? The only page I can find is a book publishers website. Thanks.

It's not kept up to date, but this is from the site.

"In the meantime, I've finished the chapter outline for The Shiva Option, the sequel to In Death Ground, and Steve is occupied writing away on it. This time around, due to the schedule demands that I'm facing, Steve will do the bulk of the writing, leaving a few key chapters for me, and I'll do the final edit and probably construct some scenes and/or dialog to slot into chapters in which "my" characters are the POV."
