Mindful that the illustrious author has his own plans.

I believe someone gave us "Lieutenant Hearns Takes Command".

There is always "Glorious Triumphs of the Omnipotent Solarian League Navy". It has the positive feature of breaking the mold...it can be very short.

I'd find the whole "rebuild Manticore" interesting. But that would require developing a lot of depth on stuff that is actually handwaved in the books.

I'd like to see an arc in 2nd Havenite War era Silesia with a major sideline of putting the Manty/Andermani Alliance together. It seems to me that the Andies are rather underdeveloped for such major players in the Honorverse.

And I'd like DW to take the first few chapters of my half-formed Honorverse fanfic and turn into something reasonable, but that's just silly.

Are you suggesting "lieutenant Hearns Takes Cammand" because she is a fascinating character who shares Honor Harrington's talent for tactics or are you motivated also by purient interests as I am?

In a similar vien, how about "Honor and Thandi Have a Cat Fight."

My top three stories:

The Flight of Jason - a story about buing the rights for Manticore, organizing the colony ships, flying, and building the new home till the crwoning of Roger I.
This I imagine could be a whole book.

Talbot meets Manticore - the story of the discovery of the latest wormhole transition from the POV of Talbot cluster citizens

Roar in the sky - the landing of the very first survey crew on Sphinx from treecat POV, more detailed then the short descr. in the stories.

Disclaimer: If any of this stories would be written by anyone either David Weber or other author, i give up any rights i could possibly hold.

Personally I would like to see:
Sarnow cleans up Silesia
Honor meets Nimitz

The Coronation of Empress of the Known Universe Honor the third.
How Vampires saved Manticore (on second thoughts perhaps not).
Solarian SD driving instructions, one forward gear and 15 reverse.

I once had a boo boo installing a differential in a friends truck. Flipped around so ring gear was on wrong side of pinion. Had one gear forward and five reverse. Couldn't resist the temptation to take it on the freeway.

I want a book from the point of view of a influential treecat or a group of forward looking adult 'cats. Start it post Oyster Bay, from the death of a clan through the Treecats finally spreading out into the universe. The cats would expand off Sphinx quickly - partly to protect themselves from the threat of extinction as well as to help humans hunt the ones responsible for the atrocity visited upon them.

"The Great Hunt"

Yeah, that I want to read, too. But minor nit, Cheopis: Treecats are the native intelligence species of Sphinx - not of Gryphon ...
