OMG

That was awesome!

I've always thought Safehold seemed like it could be related to the Empire of Man universe....

Bolos, BSG, and Dahak planetoids... that was just awesome. Thank you Mr. WEBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi oyohan

Before you link Safehold to any of the other Weber universes, just remember this snippet is NOT THE WAY Safehold will end !!

I agree though, it is AWESOME !!!

Sound like you took a page from Excalibur Alternative. I actually hoped the new fleet would have been based on descendants of the the real Nimue and those that managed to survive.

Love it! [G]

Norfressa and Fury, too, albeit only in CO names (well, and transports, for Norfressa)

The worst of all, I recognized all of them; am I reading too much RFC?

I wonder if it's fanfic when the author does it?


Yes, sir, it is. Of the worst possible kind, albeit in writing way above typical fanfic.

When I read this introduction, I said, "emeye, this is going to be a groaner of epic proportions."

I was not disappointed :)

Thank you, it made my day!

Good one RFC. We haven't seen you on Honorverse for many moons how about a similar in the Honorverse. Perhaps Captain Raoul Harrington-Alexander aboard a grav-lance armed LAC with a telepathic treecat crew and battle armored Medusan Nomad marines. He could make onion rings out of the Onion :lol: Humm, I wonder if having treecats around since before birth if he will develop a mind voice :twisted:

Wow, I have never seen an author writing a crack fic mash up of 3 (at least?) of their own universes. It is a marvel sir. I hate to throw this gauntlet, but having read this, I think, perhaps, there isn't enough awesome in your books.

I just realized DW referenced Mark 46 Bolos.... I think at the end of BOLO... those Bolos that escorted the first colony depolyment and lifted off on their own anti-grav... those were Mark 34s, right?

Would love to see the specs on a Mark 46.
