And BoMa wasn't Chin one of the few who actually managed to get her ship into hyper to run away before Eighth Fleet Apollo missiles started detonating?

Either way, Honor has taken Chin to school (repeatedly), and made her look like an uppity Middy trying to handle something out of her league... and made it look easy. Needless to say, Chin will never truly forgive Honor, even if she grudgingly follows orders.

I'm not sure if Chin's ship managed to hyper out before the missiles started detonating - I think she just got lucky and her ship survived long enough to hyper out.

As to how she managed to be back in PRH service in Fanatic having surrendered in SVW, that's never been resolved by RFC so far as I know. I have two theories:

1) Most of Chin's force surrendered, but a handful of ships (including the flagship) managed to hold of Admiral Danislav's dreadnaughts long enough to get across the hyper limit.

2) Eric Flint made a mistake when writing Fanatic and forgot that the last we heard of Admiral Chin was her surrender at Hancock, RFC and Baen's editors didn't catch it before publication and it's too late to retcon it now.

I can also get behind Oliver and Andrea

Genevive Chin and Van dort? hmm might work, aside from the short story "the Fanatic", Chin has not had a lot of screen time and even then was mostly a Victor Cachat story, to get to know her, so I can't say as I know her well enough to make a real choice for her.

I've always thought that Genevive Chin, who has had more hard luck than any other Havenite (mostly due to running into Hoor Harrington), would fit well with Alan Higgins, who has also had more than his share of bad breaks.

Because they both deserve something good to happen to them.

Of course, rose may not be amused...

I recognise the name but can't remember where we saw him or what happened.

Nobody important, Just a Manticorian Admiral who happened to be commanding Grendlesbane during Thunderbolt and Home Fleet during Oyster Bay.

Wait - where was Chen during Thunderbolt? She didn't lead the Grendlesbane force did she????

No. Genevive Chin was in La Martine sector, during the Fanatic minibook circa 1915, and disappeared until 1921 when she reappeared for the Battle of Manticore.

I think she was busy holding regions - including possibly La Martine - for the Constitutional government during the civil war, while Giscard and Tourville whomped on the rebels/StateSec holdouts.
