I think this is a question for rose.

Throughout all the books, it has been consistently spelled as Pritchart, with only a few exceptions. I conclude that Pritchard is a misspelling.

From the original, certified Eloise fangirl:

It's definitely Pritchart. :mrgreen:

I would love to have been a fly on the wall during Honor's debrief on the "effectiveness" of the grav lance.

We know it must have been a lulu of presentation because Admiral Yancy Parks in The Short Victorious War referrer to it as "her insubordination to Admiral Hemphill when she addressed the Weapons Development Board after Basilisk ... Certainly she showed gross misjudgment by using a vital service board to publicly embarrass a flag officer in the Queen's service!"

The equatorial regions featured blood-sucking mosquito-like insects dubbed "shuttlesquitos" whose wingspan was wider than an average human palm. Human blood appeared to be quite poisonous to them, although it didn't stop them from trying, considerably annoying prisoners. Unlike Earth mosquitoes, shuttlesquitos did not swarm.


I'd sure like to see a pic of a mosquito that big. Can you imagine the other insects? What must their fire ants be like?

Would someone help me. I've been trying to find reference of the location(s) of planetary population on Grayson. Am I correct in that it is the Western Hemisphere? And is that exclusive? And if so, with Skydomes, will that be changing?

That would be fun. We'd be able to get back down from the grand strategy novel to the individual adventure novel and see Manticore's other great space heroes up close.
