Combining Safehold & Dahak.
RFC gave a snippet of the idea. I would love to see this go further than a Snippet. (sorry I cannot seem to find it) I would love to see Safehold in the space age meeting up with the Dahak crew(s). Anyone else want this?

The story was called "How the Safehold Series won't end" and it was pretty awesome, but the title kind of answers the question. Unfortunately :)

It would take alot of fancy dancing around facts to reconcile both universes( ie: both are from earth, but Dahak earth wasn't destroyed) not that I wouldn't want to see it happen

Hence the "transtemporal drive" used in RFC's very tongue-in-cheek snippet, and the fact that Senior Fleet Admiral Ninhursag MacIntyre informs Admiral Howsmyn that her fleet is from an alternate universe.

Honestly, I laughed for an hour reading that scene. It is utterly hilarious if you've read all of RFC's books. Noting how he works in references to the Honor Harrington universe, Bahzell, Bolos, "The Excalibur Alternative," and of course Dahak (and I know I've missed a few) is utterly priceless!

Too bad it's just one scene, since it's some of the finest parody I've ever read. Of course it really couldn't be much longer... ;)

Read the thread for all the goodies I missed. :lol:
