The reason for this posting is that the publisher, Jim Baen, has proven himself to be a Really Sick-Assed Bastard (now, I mean that in the fondest of ways, Jim!) .
   For the previous Honor Harrington works, Jim was content to dole out the preview material as chapter-sized fixes of 'crack-celery'.  For this installment, Jim started dropping previews of the manuscript even before the full manuscript was delivered to him by David.  Now he has raised the Baen Preview Torture™ to new heights by doling out our fixes paragraphs at a time, even partial sentences at a time.  (There are even unconfirmed reports that the entire list of spaces and punctuation of chapter three - minus any text - has been posted to Baen's Bar.)
   Finding the pieces as he scatters them on the Baen WebBoard can be tedious (or next to impossible), so I've collected those bits here.
