Praise for A Liaden Constellation, Volume 1:
"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
Praise for The Liaden Universe(R)
"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
". . . 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 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
