Duane,
Go right ahead and scan Crown of Slaves. I borrowed these two from the
library. I'd have to do the same with the other Honor Harrington books. My
library doesn't happen to have More Than Honor if you'd like to scan that
one, too.
I did get a copy of these two though from WebScriptions along with More Than
Honor, Crown of Slaves, and Sword of Saganami. As Cindy has mentioned, it's
a lot easier to edit your scan if you have the book to reference. Having
the e-books from WebScriptions was the next best thing to being able to see
the book. The page numbers were different, but that wasn't a big deal when
you can do a search to find the word(s) you want to verify or correct.
You mentioned that, as close as you can figure, Crown of Slaves, fits
in the history contemporanius with or just before the events
depicted in War of Honor. It actually takes place at the same time as War
of Honor. You can tell this from the end of Chapter 40 in Crown of Slaves.
It mentions that Honor's task group is due to leave for Sidemore in 3 days.
The task group leaves for Sidemore between chapters 19 and 22 in War of
Honor. Also, Cathy Montaigne is referred to as the former Countess in
Chapter 1 of Crown of Slaves, and Zilwicki doesn't even suggest to Montaigne
that she renounce her peerage to run for a seat in the Commons until Chapter
8 of War of Honor.
That's what's so nice about e-books. It doesn't take much time to find
something you're looking for if you can come up with the right words to
search for.
Gerald

Cool!
Of course anyone who subscribes to webscriptions from baen books
has had a chance to read these books already.
Now, I will have access, soon, to a copy of Crown of Slaves
which I will be happy to scan, edit carefully, and submit unless
you have the book and are already planning to submit this book.
tell me this and I will plan accordingly.
Thanks.
If there are any missing Honorverse books at all I would be
happy to find them and scan them for Bookshare.
I Will reprint my library entry showing all the Honor Harrington
books.
the books in order.
Eleven were written entirely by David Weber, one by David Weber
and Eric Flint, and four were edited by David Weber.
The four listed as edited by weber contain stories by other
writers in the same universe. These stories flesh out the
history of the kingdom of Mantacore and the universe around it.
One story goes back several generations in the Harrington family
to tell how tree'cats became associated with humans and
especially the Harringtons.
Of the four More then Honor was copywritten in 1998, Worlds of
Honor in 1999 Changer of worlds in 2001 and Service of the sword
in 2003. .
Changer of worlds should be read between Ashes of Victory and
War of Honor; especially because the story by Eric Flint, from
the Highlands, fleshes out events that take place in War of
Honor. Crown of Slaves, also fits, as closely as I can figure
in the history contemporanius with or just before the events
depicted in War of Honor, this in spite of its having a later
copywrite date then War of Honor. War of Honor refers to events
in Crown of Slaves.
October 24, 2004.
