Second part of podcast interviewing Himself & Joelle: http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/2016/0 ... -part-two/

They're the first 30 minutes. There's more discussion of the Honorverse than the Multiverse in this, including the following tidbits:

Next book, we see a lot of Firebrand, and Scotty snookers the SLN on stage.

Last book of the current series is planned for April 2018 - 25th anniversary of OBS [and Himself's 20th] - and we have been promised that Honor delivers her best line ever. On a par with "oops!". And not a hint of what she says.

I can't help feeling that it's going to be something... original ;

Which leaves us two questions, IMHO.

First, what is currently the most memorable Honor Harrington line? (I discount "Let's be about it" since it's used multiple times and we know it orginated with Captain (now Admiral) Bachfisch). In other words, what must the MWW have Honor outdo?

The two that come immediately to mind for me are:

"Your Grace, I have only one question. Do you wish this man crippled, or dead?" -Flag in Exile

We're home, System Command," she said. "It took us a while, but we're home." - Echos of Honor

Other may have other lines uttered by HH. I'd welcome seeing them.

The second is if this book is to be entitled Shadows of Victory, that leaves the final book to have an "Honor" title, so allow speculation to commence on what that title will be. I vote for "Honor Triumphant" myself. YMMV, so post it here.

Too long. The most memorable line has to be short.
