Honor and Hamish are the only instance in which both parents have been adopted by mated treecats, and Samantha is only the second memory singer ever to adopt. She is also the only active memory singer to have adopted. The previous memory singer in question had ceased to be a memory singer for reasons which will become clear if I ever get around to writing the story.

Whether or not this will have any effect on Raoul is, of course, something about which I know nothing. Nothing! :roll: :twisted:

:lol:

From what i recall, honor was meant to die and her children were supposed to finish the story for her... But Victor ended up changing the plan... Now with her alive and the mesan plot revealed and soon to be finished i seem to recall.... Will we ever know for sure? :P Since we wont meet adult or even teenager Raoul in this series...

Clearly you will have to invent a new conflict for the honorverse when Raoul comes of age so you can answer some of these questions for us! 8-)

Mmhmm. Just like you know nothing about what the dastardly Mesans are up to, or the plots Elizabeth and Eloise are weaving, or how Augustus and Estelle are going to wind up feeling about each other, or... whoops, did I say that last one out loud? :mrgreen: :lol: 8-)

It's simple, RFC planned on killing off Honor until that Havenite wildcard Victor Cachet dropped a rock into the pool of his well laid plans, right RFC? :lol:

Then he had to pick up the left over pieces and recreate his storyline. I'm sure Cachet didn't mean anything by it, but he has a tendency toward causing chaos. ;)

Frankly I glad it didn't happen. Series tend not to survive long after THE principal character gets offed. Just ask Alexander Kent (Douglas Reeman) how long his Bolitho series lasted after he killed off the Admiral and tried to make the nephew Adam the new principal as an example.

To be honest, IMHO he shouldn't have tried. He had already taken the series about as far as it would reasonably go. He should simply have retired the Admiral to the old family home near Falmouth and ended the series.

Just my opinion of course and probably not worth the paper it's not written on.

Greentree you are correct I did forget about Elizabeth and Justin.


[quote="Greentea"]Um excuse me, I believe you forgot about Queen Elizabeth and her husband (umm, whatsisname). She is bonded to Ariel and her husband is bonded to Monroe, who was formerly bonded to Elizabeth's father King Roger.

I was always disappointed by that. Richard and Catherine both deserved better. The scene in which Adam returns to the house and finds she has left is tragic. But I never mustered the interest in keeping up with Adam that I had for Richard.

As long as you can show me a legitimate, Clear title, I might be interested. If the price is right. And if I can get rid of those pesky trolls. And you pay the first two years painting costs.
