In addition to twenty-one novels (and counting), Lee and Miller have written dozens of shorter works based in the Liaden Universe®, featuring the strong characterization, detailed worldbuilding, wit, and derring-do that readers of the series adore.\n\nSure to delight longtime fans and newcomers alike, these tales highlight why the nationally best-selling Liaden Universe® novels are treasured by space opera aficionados, with amazing settings, strong characterizations, compelling romance, and edge-of-the-chair action in stories that range from cosmic to comic. \n\nPraise for A Liaden Constellation, Volume 1:\n“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\n\nPraise for The Liaden Universe®: \n“As always, this intelligent space opera focuses on matters of manners, honor, duty, and clever repartee; violence is rarely the solution, and subtlety wins out over overt force. . . .

Sie bemuht sich, ihre Vergangenheit auer Acht zu lassen. Dennoch spaziert sie ihr in den Jahren, in denen unweigerlich alle Rechnungen des Lebens zusammenlaufen, wie ein Strahl der fruhen Morgensonne nach dem Erwachen, ganz von allein und ungerufen in die Gedanken hinein ... Nach Jahren, die hinter ihr liegen, lebt sie glucklich und zufrieden mit sich selbst, irgendwo in den Hochalpen, in Norditalien. Der Weg gen Marchen fuhrte sie von einen kleinen Ortchen in Serbien uber Deutschland, dann erneut Serbien - in jenen schwierigsten Neunzigern - nach Italien und in die Straen Roms, wo sie dank humanitaren Organisationen uberleben konnte. Hinter ihr liegen eine Kindheit, in der sie nie wahre elterliche Liebe erfahren hatte, eine Ehe ohne die geringste Spur von Liebe, auerdem viel Pein, Erniedrigung und Leid, zwei Sohne - die einzigen Lichtpunkte ihrer Vergangenheit, grenzenlose Hingabe und etliche Traume ... Ihre Vergangenheit unterscheidet sich wahrscheinlich nicht sonderlich von anderen Lebensgeschichten der Frauen vom Balkan, aber ihre Gegenwart ist das, wovon viele dieser Frauen ewiglich traumen werden. Und zu eben diese Gegenwart kam sie, indem sie ihren Traumen folgte ... All ihre falschen Entscheidungen hat sie selber getroffen, ebenso kamen sie auch ihre Lebensfehler teuer zu stehen, aber sie hat sich alles, was sie heute ist, selber erkampft. Deswegen hegt sie keine groen Lebenstraume mehr. Heute ist sie eine Frau im besten Alter, die ihr Leben geniet ...
