   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  kmartin802 | Jul 5, 2022 |   Some of the stories are about side characters who make a brief appearance in the novels. We have a story that takes place at the same time the Clutch turtles visit Shaltren told from the point of view of a pilot/ship owner coming to rescue a friend. We learn about the people Pat Rin bought rugs from to stock his new store on Surebleak. We have the story of the taxi driver who took Cheever to Korval and also drove mercenaries around when Korval fired on the planet. I was less familiar with these stories than the ones in Volume 1 and enjoyed learning more about the Liaden Universe. I also like the idea that I have all the stories in one convenient location on my Kindle. (  ) kmartin802 | May 27, 2020 |  ) sibylline | Aug 18, 2015 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

BOOK 2 in The First Liaden Universe ® Collection. Fifteen short tales of the Liaden Universe® brought together for the first time. Space opera and romance on a grand scale in a galaxy full of interstellar trading clans. Thirty-three shorter tales of the Liaden Universe® brought together for the first time in two mega-volumes. Fifteen tales complete Volume Two! The nationally best-selling Liaden Universe® novels are treasured by space opera aficionados for their wit, world-building, strong characterizations, tender romance, and edge-of-the-chair action. Since 1995, Sharon Lee and Steve Miller also created shorter tales, illuminating additional facets of the Liaden experience. Here is a vast tapestry of tales of the scouts, artists, traders, priestesses, sleight of hand magicians, and pilots who fill the Liaden Universe® with the excitement, action, and romance that readers of the hit series have come to adore. Celebrating 25 Years of the Liaden Universe® About A Liaden Universe Constellation : Volume 1: ". . . adds a bit of sparkle to ordinary life. . . . This series [is] . . . the premier place to find good romantic SF adventure. . . . strong characters finding their own way (and, often, each other) in an action-packed galaxy of worlds. . . . Every story stands on its own; readers don't have to be familiar with the Liaden universe. Those who have had the pleasure, though, will find many connections to existing tales." --Analog on A Liaden Universe Constellation: Volume 1. About the Liaden Universe® series: "Every now and then you come across an author, or in this case, a pair, who write exactly what you want to read, the characters and personalities that make you enjoy meeting them. . . . I rarely rave on and on about stories, but I am devoted to Lee and Miller novels and stories." --Anne McCaffrey "These authors consistently deliver stories with a rich, textured setting, intricate plotting, and vivid, interesting characters from fully-realized cultures, both human and alien, and each book gets better."-Elizabeth Moon "[A] recommended, powerful pick. . .a fast-paced military and political thriller."--Midwest Book Review on Ghost Ship "[D]elightful stories of adventure and romance set in a far future. . .space opera milieu. It's all a rather heady mix of Gordon R. Dickson, the Forsythe Saga, and Victoria Holt, with Lee and Millier's own unique touches making it all sparkle and sizzle. Anyone whose taste runs toward SF in the true romantic tradition can't help but like the Liaden Universe."--Analog "[T]he many fans of the Liad universe will welcome the latest...continuing young pilot Theo Waitley's adventures." - Booklist on Saltation "[A]ficionados of intelligent space opera will be thoroughly entertained. . .[T]he authors' craftsmanship is top-notch." -Publishers Weekly on Lee and Miller's popular Liaden® thriller, I Dare No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Veil of the Dancer tells about Inas Bhar's childhood and the first steps the lead her to become Natessa the Assassin and ultimately Pat Rin's lifemate.
The Beggar King tells the story of Clarance O'Berin's arrival on Liad to be the Juntavas boss. It also tells how he and Daav become as friendly as they can be given that they are working for opposing sides.
Lord of the Dance takes place on Surebleak and tells the story of Pat Rin's final acceptance of the fact that he is truly a pilot of Korval.
Fighting Chance tells how Miri gets off Surebleak the first time and joins the mercenaries. Prodigal Son tells weatherman Ichliad Brunner's story which incidentally tells the story of Miri's heroism at Klamath.
Hidden Resources tells what happens at Runig's Rock while the clan children along with Lady Kareen and Luken bel'Tarda are sheltering there while the adults in the clan make a new home after being thrown off Liad.
The other stories also tell about other people caught up in Korval's adventures or just trying to lead their lives in peace. I liked Skyblaze because I had often wondered what happened to the taxi driver who drove Cheever McFarland to Korval and who later ferried mercenaries from Higson's unit when Korval attacked the Department of the Interior on Liad. It was a great story about someone who was just a "spearholder" in the mainline, but whose life was changed by the events, nonetheless.
All of the stories were entertaining. I thought that they could be introductions to the Liaden Universe for new readers. It is hard to judge that though because I've read the Liaden Universe stores over and over again since I discovered them in the 1990s. I loved finding out more about characters I already love. (
