Be aware RFC might take this as a dare.

Honor. As a reader, I'm bonded to Honor like a treecat. If she dies, then for me, the series dies.
With Honor gone the Honorverse will simply be the Verse. Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

Big C I totally agree with you.
Also there has to be a tipping point were too many Characters we're invested in die. With the wholesale slaughter implied/promised by himself, that point could arrive in the next book. It is almost as if RFC get satisfaction out of inflicting emotional pain on us readers. Perhaps it is a test of reader loyalty. What is certain is that UH will bring MUCH PAIN. |

My thing is the close knit family formed aboard Fearless in OBS. Each of those deaths cuts like a knife. Sometimes RFC appears like a thief in the night. I suppose that is why Remington made both typewriters and rifles. They knew that sometimes, authors and snipers are one in the same. LOL Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |
