Theo Waitley is a Nexus of Violence. Thrust mid-year into a school for pilots far from the safe haven of her birth home on scholarly Delgado, young Theo Waitley excels in hands-on flying while finding that she's behind the curve in social intricacies as well as in math. Her mentors try to guide her studies and training into the channels best suited to her special abilities and inclinations, including suggesting that she should join in the off-world student association, a plan resulting in mixed success.

After a series of confrontations, fights, and ultimately a riot after which she is thanked for not killing anyone, Theo is named a "nexus of violence" by the school's administration. Facing suspension and carrying little more than a hastily procured guild card, a pistol taken from an attacker, and the contents of her pants pockets, Theo must quickly decide if she's ready to return to Delgado in disgrace, or launch herself into the universe as a freelance pilot with credentials she's already earned.

The sequel to Fledgling, Saltation is the tenth book in the Liaden Universe® series.

    After reading fledgling, i am seriously disappointed with this book - it has no direction, lacks a story fails to properly picture the persons already know to the reader from previous books.

    As Rodney said, the book ends abruptly in the middle of the story and it seems we have to wait for the sequel at least until may 2011 -- if "Korval's Game" is the sequel -- or longer.
    I would accept such an abrupt end if the sequel is just a couple of month away, but...

    I have personally found that any Liad universe story put out by Steve Miller and Sharon Lee are highly enjoyable reads. And I eagerly await new titles to show up.

    Slow story, waiting for something to happen, then ends right in the middle of the story.
