Does anyone remember this? | |

Hello, all
I have been reading HH since my dad first turned me on to them, but I think I'm losing my mind. Does anyone recall a short story where Honor and Nimitz were home alone on Sphinx and an assassination attempt was made? I remember the story in my head but can't find it anywhere. Multiple assassins, action took place outside... Maybe this story was written by an author other than David? |

Doesn't ring a bell. Any chance it was a fan-fic story, rather than something in on of the official anthologies? |

I believe there is a story (not involving Honor) of an assassination attempt on one of the earlier Queens, set on Sphinx.

Oh. You means the one back when (later Queen) Adrienne Winton was still a Crown Princess? "What Price Dreams?" from the anthology Worlds of Honor Though IIRC there was only one assassin (though other plotters were involved). And she was giving a public speech, not home alone. So not sure if this would be what sartorta was remembering. |

There was the mentioned, but not shown, assault on Zilwicki's house/Cathy's Mansion. I remember we asked Eric for the story, and he said something to the effect that there was nothing to tell - Someone hired some bad guys, Zilwicki found out, and between him and some Ballroom friends, the bad guys never left Zilwicki's house again. Nothing to see here, we're just redecorating - loudly. Also the assault on Ruth and Berry in Erewhon (inside ships and Casino/Space station), or the kidnapping and assault on Helen on Earth? ******
RFC said "refitting a Beowulfan SD to Manticoran standards would be just as difficult as refitting a standard SLN SD to those standards. In other words, it would be cheaper and faster to build new ships." |

There have been two assaults by groups of criminals on Honor and Nimitz: the attack by fanatics at the Protector's palace in HotQ and the attack by hired thugs at the restaurant in FoD. Neither occurred at Honor's home in Sphinx. |

One more was Alfred's rescue of Allison, but there was no treecat involved and it happened on Beowulf. |
