She wanted to make absolutely certain she had the correct pronunciations for names, places, star nations, etc., and I tried to make certain all of her questions were answered. Before Audible recorded the very first Honor Harrington book, narrator Allyson Johnson and I not only corresponded by e-mail but actually spoke to one another by phone. A mistake was made… and it wasn't Audible's fault. There's been some confusion-not to say, um, energetic debate, readers and fans being readers and fans-about the correct pronunciation of "Manticoran." The truth, alas, is that a stitch was dropped. Parliament isn't sure it wants to keep the place the major local industry is smuggling the merchant cartels want her head the star-conquering, so-called "Republic" of Haven is up to something and Honor Harrington has a single, over-age light cruiser with an armament that doesn't work to police the entire star system.īut the people out to get her have made one mistake. The aborigines of the system's only habitable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens. Her demoralized crew blames her for their ship's humiliating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station. Having made a superior look a fool, Honor Harrington has been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up for ruin.
