I havent read the original, but what few glimpses of it Ive read seems harrowing. This is a feelgood romp in comparison, one I appreciate.

Gosh, this story was a genuinely brilliant read. Your treatment of the treecats had some lovely humour, and it was lovely to see the ballroom get their due. The writing emulated Weber's style pretty nicely as to keep you feeling in the right place and all around this was a great little read.
Not enough Honorverse fanfic out there and this is certainly the best one I've found so far.

A really great read to any fan of the Honor verse. As far as I can tell, it fits in seamlessly enough but I could see it as an official story, if the universe had taken a slightly different direction. The writing style and detail matches very well against the quality of the originals. 11 out of 10 stars.

And why would I do such a thing to the Treecats!? I happen to like the little monsters. They can be so damn dangerous when they need to be. Not even the Hexapuma will take on a tribe of Treecats. They already know the outcome of that battle! Would I like to read the Detweilers got everything they had coming to them? Damn right I would! They and a goodly number of their social order! I can easily say this as I've read the entire series.

Shannon is actually underselling the Saganami-C-class’s broadside (she was off by five tubes). According to House Of Steel: The Honorverse Companion, that class (exemplified by HMS HEXAPUMA (CA-412)) actually has a broadside consisting of twenty missile tubes, eight near capital ship grade grasers, twenty counter-missile launchers and twenty-four point-defense laser clusters…

What a wonderful wonderful read. Third time.

Very nice story. Much better than original wobbling, with consize and logical plot diversion from the original and excellent final resolution that Weber story still lacks after so many years.

Most of all much less dramatic plot devices in the second half of the story counting from original books. Weber - so he can keep up a drama and plot device of Heroine's sacrifices for the greater good of everybody, in every book kills basically every second person that Harrington know, likes and loves. Author of this fanfiction cleanly and smartly chose a plot point where alteration to David Weber's storyline can be logically made. It makes so much sense that it pains me to compare it to the original especially later books. Not to mention the strange tendency of Weber of repeating the same plot points from different and even the same perspective many times over in the last 6 - 8 books of HH universe series, while introducing very small overall plot progression to the series.

"Which might very interestingly play tag with the trial in the House of Lords to which High Ridge, North Hollow, and New Kiev would, if they insisted, be entitled on the gross peculation and malfeasance charges."

Wait, wasn't North Hollow dead at this point?

This was most gratifying for a great number of reasons. I don't have the energy to write a detailed review, but let me say that said review would be very long and almost entirely laudatory. Two of its many pleasures was your making few English errors, which is rare, and sending me to the dictionary several times, which is much rarer.

Thanks for accelerating the pace. I too felt that the series really started dragging, and an extra bonus here is that a couple characters I really liked (McKeon and Clinkscales) survived to see the downfall of the scum. Stinker's role as precipitator of the action was a lovely touch and perfectly in character. (I share many of the treecats' attitudes.)

Perhaps the most striking and unexpected joy was the implied future of Honor and Tom Theisman. I hadn't thought of it, but he of all the surviving male characters was really the best match for her.

Thank you so much!

Love this. I almost like it better than the original and with all the context David weber would have to include that we got from the books i could verry well see the series being almost as long and still going this way

So, adding this to favorites just after reading this first chapter. 'Cause I love Honor and you've done her proud.

Greetings.
Re-reading yet again.
Jeremy’s ‘cat name could be Laughs Darkly, or About to Leap, or Leaps with Claws.
This popped in my head for the next chapter: “My fire control teams need the practice, so we will be targeting you alphabetically. If you’re on a ship whose name starts with A, you have 3 minutes to strike your wedge or abandon ship. We will proceed through the alphabet at 90 second intervals. This is your last warning. Harrington clear.”
Enjoying as always.

You had Nimitz tell her to her face to eat more celery?

A great read! loved the expansion of the treecats' role, and how you wrapped up the Honorverse story and all its loose ends. I never liked the Honor/Hamish pairing in Weber's series — they always felt more like comrades than lovers — and your alternative was an intriguing (and apt) solution.

This was a wonderful read, every bit as well written as the prologue.

And yes, it's very nice for all the political assholes in the book series to get actual comeuppance in the political arena, instead of waiting until the military situation is so very bad, like they did in the book series. That is, in fact, one of the biggest reasons I don't care to re-read the series - political nonsense that the protagonists seem unable, or unwilling, to fight against.
