Crown of Slaves is a 2003 novel by David Weber and Eric Flint set in the
Honorverse; it has been billed as the first in the Wages of Sin series, spun
off from the main Honor Harrington series.
It features Honor herself only in a cameo role: other characters from the
novels and several short stories take centre stage. These include Captain Anton
Zilwicki and his adopted daughter Berry, introduced in From the Highlands, and
Ruth Winton, introduced in Promised Land. "Jeremy X", the terrorist leader of
the Audubon Ballroom, and Victor Cachat, one of the Republic of Haven's most
capable agents, also appear.
