In my judgement it is reasonable, and in comparison to the other synopses it most definitely is. The event, along with preparation and aftermath, takes up most of the book- not mentioning it in any way is inconsistent with the the other synopses and the general fact that a synopses should be laying out what\\\'s going on. Your knowledge of the series is coloring your judgement (as mine is), and it\\\'s unfortunate you don\\\'t see it. You consider the second revolution a forgone conclusion, but there\\\'s no way an outside observer knows that. An outside observer also has no idea what devastating means in this context, because there is no indication- no mention of space stations or planetary strikes, of scientists, families, or treecats. They have no idea that this is a series where fatalities from single engagements run into the millions. It only that indicates that someone or something important was lost or heavily damaged (heck, \\\'\\\'Field of Dishonor\\\'\\\' could read \\\"...Pavel Young plans and executes \\\'\\\'a devastating sneak attack\\\'\\\' against Honor...\\\", and a single person was lost there). As I said, changing it to \\\"A devastating sneak attack \\\'\\\'\\\'IN\\\'\\\'\\\' the Manticoran home system\\\" would make obscure the scale further.
Lastly, concerning \\\'\\\'The Short Victorious War\\\'\\\', are we in agreement that the edit is fine? It is still far less explicit than \\\'\\\'Ashes of Victor\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'War of Honor,\\\'\\\' only making it clear that there are changes, not mere threats, in Haven. Either those two synopses need major overhauls, or it\\\'s okay.
