A Liaden Universe® Novel
"LEE AND MILLER STRIKE SPACE OPERA GOLD."
—Robin Wayne Bailey
Once a brilliant First-in Scout, Val Con yos'Phelium was "recruited" by the mysterious Liaden Department of Interior and brainwashed into an Agent of Change—a ruthless covert operative who kills without remorse.
Fleeing the scene of his latest murderous mission, he finds himself saving the life of ex-mercenary Miri Robertson, a tough Terran on the run from a team of interplanetary assassins. Thrown together by circumstances, Val Con and Miri struggle to elude their enemies and stay alive without slaying each other—or surrendering to the unexpected passion that flares between them.
"I was mesmerized, awed, and totally entertained. I am hooked by the Liaden world. Bravo!"
—Mary Balogh
"Full of action, exotic characters, plenty of plot, and even a touch of romance. OUTSTANDING."
—Booklist
"You may never care about a cast of characters more or await their return with more anticipation."
—SF Site

this book introduces one of the neatest charactors in science fiction, Miri Robertson Tiazen. It eshews all established conventions by encompassing them all at one moment or another. when you finish, read the rest of the series. When you do, select the omnibus volumes and save half (eg. Crystal Variations)

This is the first of four books I refer to as the Agent of Change series: Agent of Change, Carpe Diem, Plan B, and I Dare. This group of books is where I fell in love with the Liaden Universe. Action, adventure, romance—all the great elements for my favorite kind of book. We see the beginning of Val Con and Miri's unlikely partnership, then watch as their relationship grows and they become heroes of the first water, as they say. Lots of "edge of your seat" action and all the romance you could ask for in these four books. Sharon and Steve are masters at tasteful, sensual love scenes and tender, affectionate scenes. These are some of the most effectual romance books I've ever read. The Liaden Universe Series is absolutely addictive!
And, by the way, Sharon and Steve do a masterful job of making the scenes pop up off the page and allowing me to visualize where the characters are and what they are doing.Posted on
