Hmmmmm, guess I should have made it worth more.

OK, here's a hint--they both are Armsmen for Honor, but what I am looking for is a shared-destiny is the only word I can think of.

So since I've given a hint, you now have to include the book in your response.


What is 'who are two of Honor's armsmen that died in the Battle of Blackbird?'


Yep--that is what I was looking for--but you got the wrong Battle!!!!

Then by the rules of Jeopardy my answer is wrong. I do not get the points and the question is still open awaiting someone else to buzz in.

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

Double Jeopardy (because I don't know either)

At the conclusion of this particular battle represented Honor's biggest jump in rank.
Hmm, that's a tricky one. I don't recall any direct battlefield promotions, and it's arguably confused over her being in two navies.

I could make a reasonable argument for either
a) 1st Hancock (RMN Captain Senior Grade to GSN Admiral. Of course there was an entire book in between; but no battles that Honor fought in)
b) Battle of Cerberus (RMN Commodore to full Admiral; when she was appointed to ATC)

(But because it's arguable, and not directly battle related I'm not asking either in the form of a question :lol:)

Excellent research. But I'm afraid the answer we're looking for is "What is the Battle of Cerberus?"

You will be invited to return on a future show.
Now we see the importance of official question makers and Jeopardy Judges. :lol:

I would have said "What was the gun battle with Pavel Young?" Captain SG to Admiral. It was a larger jump than commodore to admiral. Nobody ever said naval battle, and even though it was supposed to be a duel, it wasn't.

Good point!
Looks like someone else will be invited back on a future show.

Take Battles for 800

Leading up to this battle is the first time Honor had to pull rank.

What is the Second Battle of Marsh?

When she pulled rank on Admiral Draskovic to get the staff she wanted for Sidemore?
