Is this for the main Honor series, or is it the follow up to Shadow of Saganami?

Given that in the main series, Mike has been reassigned to the Talbot Cluster, because her parole from the Havenites after her release forbade her from taking part in action against Haven, I'd say that this is a followup to SoS, starting with a brief flashback to when Mike got captured. -- Quando omni flunkus moritati Visit the Buffy Body Count at <http://homepage.mac.com/dsample/> >> Stay informed about: Surprise, surprise!!!

Earlier, I had heard that the follow-up to Crown of Slaves and Shadow of Saganami would be coming first. The opening chapter is a space battle involving Honor Harrington, which would tend to indicate the former, but all the teaser snippets are about Manpower, which would tend to indicate the latter - so I suppose the latter is almost certainly the case.

I hadn't noticed. I was assuming that this was some new battle in the Talbot Cluster for some reason. I'll have to go back and re-read it more closely. Thanks for the observation! If Dave's showing a previous battle from Henke's perception to open the book, it makes me wonder if we're going to get more detail on Henke's time as a "guest", a POW of the Republic of Haven. >> Stay informed about: Surprise, surprise!!!
