The Stories
David Weber‘s “What Price Dreams?” is a fascinating fill-in on how the Crown Princess, Adrienne, was adopted by a treecat.
Brief mentions of Stephanie Harrington as the first adoptee.
He also wrote “Hard Way Home” which has two primary stories. One is of Susan Hibson as a 12-year-old and her dreams of joining the Royal Manticoran Marines while the other is of another of Honor Harrington’s run-ins with one of Pavel Young’s cronies. The two protagonists eventually meet when Honor takes over the search and rescue effort to find skiers buried by an avalanche.
I sure hope someone writes a story where Novaya Tyumen gets creamed…
Linda Evans‘ “Stray” was a sweet story about a doctor’s relationship with his treecat and the biological disaster stopped when a murdered person’s treecat and his clan managed to convey the conspiracy to the doctor. Evans almost has the feel for this. A good story and not as well-written as it could be. We get a better idea of what Stephanie Harrington did as an adult.
Jane Lindskold‘s “Queen’s Gambit” is a fascinating look at King Roger’s assassination and Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne. We briefly meet Mike who even more briefly mentions her friend, Honor. We do learn how Justin inherits Monroe. Nice bit of fill-in on the back story.
Roland J. Green‘s “Deck Load Strike” had the most horrible ending. His story was extremely confusing to follow. although he had a light, subtle touch on the romance which he just smashed into at the end.
