Chronology: War of Honor and Crown of Slaves

I'm rereading the Honorverse stories in chronological order (as based on the table in the article), and I have serious problems with the ordering of War of Honor and Crown of Slaves. Right now, War of Honor is listed as happening before Crown of Slaves. Yet the restart of the war between Manicore and Haven in War of Honor is at least partially predicated by actions in Crown of Slaves. Given all that, what is the justification for the two books being listed in the order that they're listed? (I don't want to change the order if there's a good reason for the order.) Fredrik Coulter (talk) 19:42, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible they happen somewhat simultaneously. There are several of the books right around then which have all kinds of overlap between them as far as chronology. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:53, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think that it is reasonable, given the publication dates. This means that WoH contains no/no explicit references to occurrences in CoS with the exception of Erewhon's discontent and eventual defection from the Alliance, which although assisted by Cachat during the events in CoS, was occurring more from the High Ridge government's actions than from Cachat's scheming. Noting that CoS occurs within the WoH timeline is sufficient in my mind.
Unfortunately, the placement of ToF in the timeline, while valid from a start date perspective, fails because of publication dates, which means that references are made as early as Chapter 9 of ToF to events occurring in SoS and AAC. IMHO, the minimum fix for ToF needs to be to comment that the other two books' events occur simultaneously, and it may be better to read them before ToF. 142.118.123.150 (talk) 22:24, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Book chronological order incorrect.

Chronological order by internal published incidents indicate an error in listed order. 

"At all Costs" and "Torch of Freedom" share sceans and indicating a clearly semi-concurent timeline at least for parts I can clearly indentifie as listed below.

1) A copy paste scene crossing the two 'Chapter Fifty-five' "At All Costs" that falls as 'Chapter Thirty-two' "Torch of Freedom" A Meeting of 'Honor Harrington', 'Anton Zilwicki', and 'Victor Cachat' aboard HMS Imperator while working up 'Operation Sanskrit' to discuss the attempted association of Queen Berry and Princess Ruth. 2) 'The Battle of Manticore' occuring in last chapters of "At All Costs" is referenced in 'Chapter Thirty-nine' of "Torch of Freedom" as occuring 'one week' prior to start of chapter. 2601:987:280:F160:584B:D91E:5617:54E4 (talk) 19:17, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I concur that the timeline at least needs a note as per Crown of Slaves re: War of Honor. By chapter 9 in Torch of Freedom (< 1/4 of the way through), references are made by the Dettweilers to the attempted assassination of Honor on her flag bridge, by Bardasano to the failed Monica ops, and to other events occurring in AAC and SoS. Insert should probably be made at around the same time as Kare arrives to conduct the wormhole survey... 142.118.123.150 (talk) 22:10, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Salamander

It seems odd that this article covers Honor Harrington fairly thoroughly, but doesn't mention her in-universe nickname "The Salamander"... AnonMoos (talk) 06:52, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The number of escapees from Hell

Hello, the number of 100 000 prisoners escaping from Hell (in the "Commodore Harrington" section) is incorrect. Or at least missing a context.

The 100 000 prisoners were the remaining ones who escaped on the ships captured during the Battle of Cerberus, but that is not the total number of escapees. Prior to that they managed to capture several transports (Longstops, if I remember correctly) and transported something like 350 000 people on those ships, commanded by Cynthia Gonsalves.

The books mention several times that Honor freed basically half a million prisoners. 209.206.5.34 (talk) 13:31, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Probable typo in _House of Steel_ notes

Shouldn't "Rodger Winton" be "Roger Winton"? 174.240.64.67 (talk) 23:25, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should. WP:BEBOLD and fix it :) Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:05, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

published column

The Published column in the table needs to be completely rewritten with the year first and any other information after that. the way it is, you do not get a coherent chronology because april 1992 books come before january 1992 books. Make it make sense. 100.15.117.34 (talk) 23:05, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
