Spoilers TTN: Fortune Of War by David Mack Review Thread
- Thread starter tomswift2002

There's a spoiler flag in the thread title already.
There is a big red icon at the top of the thread that say's spoilers and the law of the land says that spoilers can be open and free in such an environment and no need to be hidden away.
Just started it.
Excited Keru gets laid, finally.
Even more excited because this is the first TTN release since we’ve got a physical model of the Titan from Eaglemoss. I mean, I’m reading about a ship that only exists in print work (plus its classmates in STO) but now I’m holding it in my hand! Mind=blown.

It's polite & considerate though, and that was alot of information. If it was not the last post on the first page, I wouldn't mind as much. But it is, and therefore someone can very accidentally see this - as indeed I did.
It is clearly stated in the thread title that spoilers will be discussed in the open, if you don't want to be spoiled on things, don't enter the thread, it really is that simple.
As the overlord herself, @trampledamage said a few years ago now:
Lots of Plots and Character's to keep track of thus far, only 50 pages in, but Mack never fails to impress me!!!
Help needed on ship classes, please. In the middle of the novel but no revelation yet. It’s DS9: The Missing all over again.
Memory Beta reminds that the Canterbury is a Galaxy-class ship from the DS9 novels.
The Ajax is an Apollo class - the same as the Vulcan T’Pau or a separate Starfleet design?
And what type of ship is the Wasp? Defiant, Merian, Vesta, or something else?

Ah I can't wait to get my hands on this. Who is Keru's boyfriend?
Is Bowan “Bo” Radowski, the transporter chief. Looks like Keru has a fetish for Humans.

Wow, took them long enough. IIRC, that flirtation started five years ago story time, and more than a decade in real time.
I suspect - with no supporting evidence to work with at all - that the Wasp is something we haven't seen yet. The name doesn't fit with the rule for the Vesta-class re: the Seven Hills of Rome. Granted, there may be new production blocks of that class authorized, given different naming rules. STO has that Rademaker-class offshoot, right?
Also, wondering about the logistics of getting an expeditionary group across the gap between spiral arms, or in this case between the Orion spur and the coreward edge of the Perseus Arm.
Also, wondering about that Carina Arm reference a chapter after the Perseus Arm reference for "Rishon"...?

There is no such gap. The spiral arms are not made of stars, they're made of nebulae and star-formation zones. They're basically pressure waves circulating through the interstellar medium of the galactic disk, sort of like sound waves. The concentration of stars within the arms is only about 10% denser than the concentration of stars between the arms, and that's mainly due to the fact that the arms are where new star formation happens.
Apologies for the bad phrasing and resulting imprecision. I was thinking of the distance implied, and should have explained my puzzlement accordingly. "Rishon" and the rest of the action sites are in Perseus arm, and Riker, Vale and company start from the (Sag-?)"Carina arm" to get there...? Are we talking about ten to fifteen thousand ly in travel distance here?
Lol I wouldn't be surprised if Hawk's ghost visited Keru in the night and told him that after nearly 13 years, even an unjoined Trill should move on and that is was okay for him to be happy.
Not to pile on, but this is why I avoid any thread with a spoiler tag if I don't want to see spoilers. Chances are if it has a spoiler tag, then there are probably going to be open spoilers. I will go into threads without the tag, but even then I still recognize that there is a good chance someone might post spoilers out in the open. If it's something I don't want to take any chance of being spoiled on, I won't even go into them. Occasionally I might glance at poll results in spoiler review threads, but that's as far as I'll go.
Heh, hasn't it been a complaint in more than one thread here that Ranul Keru's whole "I hate Worf for killing my Borg-ed boyfriend" schtick was getting old?
Given that only one design of Apollo-class has ever been identified (unlike the Antares-class or Intrepid-class of which there are at least two) I think we can assume that all references are the same one.
Of the three, I'd say Defiant-class is the mostly likely as Merian-class are named for scientists and Vesta-class for hills/mountains. Might also be an old Renaissance-class like the USS Hornet (there were four USS Wasp in the 20th Century [a motorboat, two conventional carriers and an LHD which is still active].
