RickTaylor Midshipman Posts: 1 Joined: Sat Sep 09, 2023 11:59 pm	I've recently completed a re-reading of "Cauldron of Ghosts," and in the penultimate chapter, there's a brief reference to the arrival of a Fleet at Mesa. I have a feeling that I previously encountered a more detailed description of this event in another book or excerpt, but due to my progressing dementia, I can't recall where. Could someone assist me in locating that information?
