The Missing Scenes...Wish we could "Speculate"

I personally wouldn't mind seeing the Battle of Trevor's Star, which was being prepared for in Honor Among Enemies and had happened by the time In Enemy Hands began. For such an important battle, it seems a bit odd for it to have occurred completely off-screen. We know more or less what happened - sixth fleet under White Haven conquered the surrounding systems and then attacked, drawing the defenders away from the junction terminus to allow home fleet to transit in support - but I'm sure there'd still be an interesting tale to tell there.

I'll stamp this one too. But, you're really just saying that you'd like a detailed after action report. We know what happened. You just want it laid out. It was an X-Rated scene you see. Hamish was caught with his pants down and McQueen spanked that arse over and over and over, then rubbed it with alcohol. There weren't any baby chicks being pushed around in that system!

I think Cthia hit it on the head.
Bu-Nine and RFC, I hope you are listening.

How about a 1st Havenite war strategic overview book (or book series?) A timeline of the major (and minor battles) with the movement of units around the "chessboard."

Included would be a breakdown of each of the major battles with the units used and the tactics applied.

Anyone else interested?

What I want - desperately - is a novel to fill in the Republic's post-Theisman Coup civil war. I want to see Eloise settling into office and winning the election and Javier promising her that he will always love her and will always be with her, and that if the worst happens to him, he wants her to treasure what they shared but not dwell on grief and, most importantly, not blame herself. I want to see the slow, sweet build of trust and partnership between Tom and Eloise. I want to see inside the new Republic and its factions. I want to know more about Rachel Hanriot and Leslie Montreau and what happened to Honeker.

I want more of my Haven, my Athens of the Stars, and its true resurgence into the galaxy. I want the blossoming of a people "who are climbing to the light." I want the sun to rise again over Nouveau Paris. I want the rebirth of the Republic.

...I'm done.

Oh yes please - and with charts showing where all the major units were, preferably in software that would allow us to zoom in to particular units. Now I'm definitely interested!

I was always interested in what Elizabeth's initial reaction to Honor's return from the dead was like. Their first interaction happens weeks after the news has had time to settle in. The rest of the Cromarty Government can come too.

Yes!

Also, an interesting behind the scenes look at Hamish in his quarters after seeing her face onscreen ...

"Hot damn, Oh lawdy lawd my gf's back!"

And then cut to the scene of Hamish's steward catching him twerking and dropping it like it's hot in his quarters thinking no one is looking.

Go Hamish ... go Hamish ... go Hamish ...

That's a good one, Amaroq and the kind of thing I was 'speculating' about.

Here's another one--we know in 'War of Honor' that President Prichard was worried that news of Bolthole was going to leak via the Giancoloa's (sic). So she sent Kevin Usher to 'talk' to them about it.

Knowing the Kevin Usher from the story "From the Highlands", it would have been a very interesting conversation to hear....

I'll be succinct: So. Freaking. THIS.

Ok, so what we want is for Gearbox to finish remastering the Homeworld series, so we can mod it into a Honorverse simulator....

Oh God yes!

One minor nit that is kind of a pet peeve of mine. Putting (sic) after a word does not mean that you might have misspelled it. It is either part of the Latin phrase, "sic erat scriptum," meaning " thus was it written," or it is an abbreviation of "spelling in context," depending on who you ask. Either way, it means that you are quoting somebody else's text, and are transcribing it exactly as they wrote it, including any misspellings.

If you are not sure of spelling in something you are creating you can either follow it with (sp?) to mark questionable spelling, or you could open a new tab in your web browser and Google it. A quick search of "Giancoloa Honorverse" automatically showed results for "Giancola Honorverse."

Well, I learned something today--never knew that, and with all the reading I do....

I'll either use the (sp?) or just leave it wrong for the grammer Nazis to find...

Thanks, crewdude.
