One wonders why the skimmer is firing on a ship flying Imperial Charisian Navy colors.
Artistic license? Or reading way too much into cover art? -- Duncan

As discussed in another thread, every Safehold book cover has shown a skimmer doing something that does not happen the book. This is purely artistic license. --------------------------------------------

The ship also flies the green pennant of the CoGA. The ship might be captured or a rebel. Perhaps the Truth will come out in this book.

It's not an Imperial Charisian Navy ship, the hull lacks the black paint with the white stripe. --- Jack of all trades and destructive tinkerer. Anyone who have simple solutions for complex problems is a fool. |

Careful examination of the flag with "paint" seems to indicate it is dark, and probably with gaps cut through it, as the sections in the middle are the same color as the background. I'm pretty sure that a skimmer would never fire on a galleon with energy first, as it was explicitly mentioned that it would almost certainly trigger notice by the orbital sensors. I suppose that could represent automatic weapons fire, like a Vulcan Gatling gun. I wouldn't be too surprised if somewhere in the story, a ICN ship fired on a CoGA ship with an automatic weapon. Most likely just "artistic license". -- Bob G SF & Fantasy: The only things better than Chocolate.

That's more likely an Admiral's streamer. The Church pennant carries the scepter of Langhorne; there's no charge on this pennant.

HFQ is only 608 pages; that is disappointing.
