I love that star map background. Absolutely love it.

Thanks. When you have a book in your hands, you can read the name of the nations in the background; Manticore, Haven, the solarian league and others. Each small star is a system where Maticore and heaven have had a battle. And the small "chains" symbolize the "holes of the worm" (don't know the english term)

~Saphroneth Feb 11, 2012

It's "wormholes", or more correctly the points are wormholes - I suspect one term is based off the other. And I was certain that it was the wormhole network after I saw Manticore.

Wait, you selected which small star to put as well? That's brilliant! It really shows the intensity of the war, and that the alliance' main objective was Trevor's Star, and do I spy Hades?
Seriously, that's a brilliant idea.

I used the map that my publisher shows at the beginning of each novel, I guess that Mr. Weber had drawn it.

I don't remember if Hadès was on the map that I used (It was three years ago

)Maybe...

~Saphroneth Feb 11, 2012

It's way off to the top left of Haven, well away from the main axis of advance. (heh. Axis of advance for the Allies.) And that fits many of the criterion of Hades. It's even a place where there was a battle, which Honor refers to as the most audaciously stupid manoeuvre in recent history. Despite the fact that she did it and that it worked.

Hades, it's the planet-jail in "In enemy hands" no ?
I ask because I don't know if all the names are the same in English and in French

~Saphroneth Feb 11, 2012

In this case the name is the same. Hades is derived from Greek Mythology, so the only difference in French appears to be that French can accommodate the pronunciation easier with é instead of e. Other ones.. well, Nouveau Paris and a lot of the associated names (the defence stations Liberté, Fraternité and Egalité) are in French in the English versions of the books. More than that I do not know. I assume places with names like Split and Flax are changed.

~Genkkis Feb 11, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Yes I know the greek mythology. I was a fan of mythology (greek, celtic, scandinavian, and others)
But I didn't know if it was exactly the same name in English because, sometimes, translaters have to take some liberty with a book to translate some specific expressions. Because of differences between cultural references and things like that.
