- Theo Waitley is a Nexus of Violence. Thrust mid-year into a school for
pilots far from the safe haven of her birth home on scholarly Delgado, young
Theo Waitley excels in hands-on flying while finding that she's behind the curve
in social intricacies as well as in math. Her mentors try to guide her studies
and training into the channels best suited to her special abilities and
inclinations, including suggesting that she should join in the off-world
studenty association, a plan resulting in mixed success. After a series of
confrontations, fights, and ultimately a riot after which she is thanked for not
killing anyone, Theo is named a "nexus of violence" by the school's
administration. Facing suspension and carrying little more than a hastily
procured guild card, a pistol taken from an attacker, and the contents of her
pants pockets, Theo must quickly decide if she's ready to return to Delgado in
disgrace, or launch herself into the universe as a freelance pilot with
credentials she's already earned.- The sequel to Fledgling, Saltation is the tenth book in the
Liaden series.
