SM Stirling has a series that starts with Dies The Fire, continues in The Protectors War and concludes with A Meeting At Corvallis.
In the last book, the character who I consider the most powerful hero takes out the most powerful bad guy, but dies in the doing.
Now, instead of the bad guy's consort treating with the wife of the dead hero, she treats with the chief ally.
Can anyone give me a good explanation for this?!?

-- Sandra thinks that Signe would be too angry, grief-stricken and vengeful to negotiate rationally.

Good going, you got an answer from the author himself. JoatSimeon a/k/a S. M. Stirling.

You're kidding me, right? :eek:
Mr. Stirling, I am deeply honored.
I enjoy your stories immensely. Do you think you could hurry along The Sunrise Lands? That one chapter a month stuff at your website isn't enough. ;)
And as long as I am making demands, could we get some more stories from The Tide Of Years series?
And I was about to argue with him!! :D

Nope, not kidding. He also posts on the Google Usenet group, Rec. Art. Science Fiction--written. Joat was a character in a book he wrote with Anne Maccaffrey called The City Who Fought (I think that was the title).

-- alas, release dates are set by publishers, not authors!
