    Thanks for the corrections. On a Watsonian level, Arthur has elected to attend the Melissa Steiner Memorial Military Academy on Bolan, so he's off screen until he graduates. On a Doylist level, it's an intentional contrast between Kate's social circle and Victor's. We will see Arthur again...

    Chapter 18 Castle Davion, New Avalon Crucis March, Federated Commonwealth 6 December 3055 Helen Trempeleau had eyes that Kate recognised, the eyes of someone who was driven. Almost fanatical. The younger woman had chosen to meet her on one of the balconies overlooking the mountains behind...

    It's... technically canon. Unfortunately. I mean. Star Lord isn't the worst battletech novel. But it's pretty close to the bottom. Certainly below Far Country.
