David Weber himself contributes three never-before-published excursions
into Honor's world, among them the story of how she first discovered her
own inner strength and courage; and a chapter in the history of the
telepathic treecats, who form a bond with their chosen human that can
only be severed by death. Roland Green, author of the Starcruiser
Shenandoah series and the Peace Company series, delivers a hardhitting
tale of conflict between Manticore and the People's Republic of Haven.
Linda Evans, co-author of Time Scout, explores life with the treecats
before Honor came. And Jane Lindskold, author of Brother to Dragons,
Companion to Owls, tells how Honor's Queen, Elizabeth III, had to learn
the hard way what monarchy was all about.
