NEW NOVEL IN THE NATIONALLY BEST-SELLING LIADEN UNIVERSE(R)
SERIES. Sequel to national bestseller Neogenesis.
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 back water 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 dangerous
opportunity or 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(R)
"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. . .[T]he authors' craftsmanship is
top-notch."--Publishers Weekly on Lee and Miller's popular Liaden
Universe(R) thriller, I Dare
