Liaden Unibus I
 Once upon a time in the Liaden Universe®. . . .
Yes, it's almost that easy to get started, almost that easy to fall into reverie and begin a new story. Some stories are long and of course, some stories are short.
Collected here then, is the first volume of many of the shorter stories of the Liaden Universe®. It may be possible that an individual story or two may depend on you having read a book or another story, but generally not. It may be possible that what you find here will exactly answer a question that you've been meaning to ask us.
As to us? We're not giving up on shorter stories just because some people only read novels. When the story arrives, it gets written, long or short.
Once upon a time in the Liaden Universe®. . . .
". . . the authors' craftsmanship is top-notch, recalling the work of Elizabeth Moon and Lois McMaster Bujold . . ."
—Publishers Weekly November 26, 2001
"The combination of wit, relationship, and space opera may appeal to readers of Lois McMaster Bujold."
—Booklist December 15, 2001
"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, author of Speed of Dark
"Nobody else in the field combines space opera and comedy of manners with the same deftness and brio as these two."
—Debra Doyle, co-author of the Mageworlds novels
"Sharon Lee and Steve Miller are so good it's scary."
—S. L. Viehl, author of the Stardoc series
