Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Back in Print at Last: The First Three Novels in the Top-Selling Liaden Universe® Space Adventure Series: Local Custom, Scout's Progress and Conflict of Honors.

            Three space adventure novels in the popular Liaden Universe® series in one popularly-priced Omni edition:

            Local Custom—Master Trader Er Thom yos’Galan knows that Liaden custom is to be matched with a proper bride and provide his clan, Korval, with an heir. Yet his heart is immersed in another universe, influenced by another culture, and lost to a woman not of his world. And to take a Terran wife such as scholar Anne Davis is to risk both his honor and reputation—not to mention the lives of loved ones.
            Scout's Progress—Aelliana Caylon is a brilliant mathematician, revered by pilots for the life-saving revisions she brought to the ven’Tura Piloting Tables. Despite this, her home life is terrifying, as the target of her elder brother’s spite and her mother’s indifference. Convinced that she has no recourse, Aelliana endures, until, on a dare, she plays a game of chance and wins a spaceship. Suddenly she has a way to escape her drab life – if she can qualify as a pilot, and survive her brother’s abuse.

            Conflict of Honors—Declared legally dead by a High Priestess of the Goddess and abandoned by her mother, Priscilla Delacroix has roamed the galaxy for ten years, surviving and becoming a woman of extraordinary skills. Now, she’s been betrayed and abandoned once again, left on a distant planet by the Liaden starship on which she had been an important officer. But she’s not alone: starship captain Shan yos’Galan has his own score to settle with the same enemy and is about to offer her an alliance.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Maine-based writers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller teamed up in the late 1980s to bring the world the story of Kinzel, an inept wizard with a love of cats, a thirst for justice, and a staff of true power. Since then, the husband and wife have written dozens of short stories and more than two dozen novels, most set in their star-spanning Liaden Universe®.

Before settling down to the serene and stable life of a science fiction and fantasy writer, Steve was a traveling poet, rock-band reviewer, reporter, and editor of a string of community newspapers. Sharon, less adventurous, has been an advertising copywriter, copy editor on night-side news at a small city newspaper, reporter, photographer, and book reviewer. Both credit their newspaper experience with teaching them the finer points of collaboration. Sharon and Steve passionately believe that reading fiction ought to be fun and that stories are entertainment. Learn more about the Liaden Universe® at http://korval.com.
