Re: Mr. Arioch, have you by any chance heard of this?
Somewhat better with time, yes. to be honest though, the first Honor book is one of the weakest books he has written and does not stand well on it's own imho, but as back story to a series it works well enough.

Re: Page 124 and 125, interesting times afoot.
no real scale to check, but a guesstimate from me based on the system and that jump points tend to the outer part of the system would be 1 hour minimum, probably closer to 3, but it depends wildly on how large the star in question is, as in brown dwarf would be a matter of light minutes from a jump ...
