A NEW NOVEL IN THE NATIONALLY BEST-SELLING LIADEN UNIVERSE(R) SERIES
A door never closes, but a window opens . . . With origins in the Old Universe, the malevolent, acquisitive intelligence of Tinsori Light sought to infect others with itself, and send those agents out into the wide new universe to infect even more. For centuries, two heroes stood between Tinsori Light and the vulnerable universe--Light Keepers Jen Sin yos'Phelium and Lorith of the Sanderat. Just when it seemed that they--merely human--must fail, Tinsori Light, enfeebled by aged systems, succumbed to the stress of a unique spatial event . . . and died, leaving the station a shell. Luckily, the light keepers have back-up. A mismatched team of arcane specialists are on-station, working non-stop to preserve the Light, build trustworthy systems, and open the refurbished station for business. In fact, ships are already incoming, and it becomes a matter of urgency to sort friend from foe. In particular, the Lyre Institute wishes to acquire Tinsori Light, and will do anything, spend anyone, to achieve that goal. Praise for Salvage Right: "Salvage Right delivers a taut, suspenseful sequel with deft and forward thinking insight into independent logics as intelligences. Another benchmark in the Liaden universe series: merit, kindness, integrity, and heroic action through a rounded cast of healed and broken characters who will win your heart as they strive to overcome their difficulties." --Janny Wurts, author of Wars of Light and Shadow Praise for Accepting the Lance: "Accepting the Lance is a tour de force! So many threads woven, so many pieces moved on the board, old and new friends met, this book is an extraordinary installment in a brilliant series. I stayed up till 3 a.m. reading it and I have zero regrets. An incredible ride of a book!" --Nalini Singh, NYT best-selling author of the Psy-Changeling and Guild Hunter paranormal romances Praise for Dragon in Exile:". . . sprawling and satisfying. . . . Space opera mixes with social engineering, influenced by Regency-era manners and delicate notions of honor. . . . it's like spending time with old friends." --Publishers Weekly Praise for Necessity's Child:
"Compelling and wondrous, as sharp and graceful as Damascus steel, Necessity's Child is a terrific addition to Lee & Miller's addictive series." --Patricia Briggs Praise for the Liaden Universe(R) 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 ". . . delightful 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 Miller'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 ". . . the many fans of the Liaden universe will welcome the latest . . . continuing young pilot Theo Waitley's adventures." --Booklist on Saltation ". . . aficionados of intelligent space opera will be thoroughly entertained . . . the authors' craftsmanship is top-notch." --Publishers Weekly on Lee and Miller's popular Liaden Universe(R) thriller I Dare
