KORVAL IN THE
CROSSHAIRS
Exiled from Liad
after bombing a city to save it from The Department of the Interior’s
infernal weapons and plans, Clan Korval has gone to ground on the backwater
planet Surebleak, whose people are as untamed as its
weather.
Far beyond the surface of
frigid Surebleak, Korval’s far-flung trade network needs a serious reset.
From flagship Dutiful Passage to the experimental
self-aware Bechimo, the clan’s ships are prowling space lanes
seeking trade. Meanwhile, old tech from a failed universe and the machinations
of the mysterious Uncle are coalescing into either a dangerous opportunity or a
nefarious trap.
And the Department of
the Interior is not done with Clan Korval yet. They seek a final fully reckoned
revenge, with Surebleak and Korval’s ships and people everywhere in the
crosshairs.
About 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
Praise for The Liaden
Universe®:
"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 Constellation, Volume
1
"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. .
. . [Neogenesis] provides thoroughly satisfying progression
or resolution for multiple threads and will feel comfortably familiar for fans
of Korval’s escapades."—Publishers
Weekly on Neogenesis
“[S]prawling
and satisfying. . . . Space opera mixes with social engineering, influenced by
Regency-era manners and delicate notions of honor. . . . [I]t’s like
spending time with old friends . . .”—Publishers
Weekly on Dragon in
Exile
“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 on Necessity's
Child
“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
“[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 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
“[T]he
many fans of the Liaden 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. . . . the
authors' craftsmanship is top-notch.”—Publishers
