Synopsis: |
Across a fallen galaxy, the Liaden have risen to take on the challenge of bringing trade and civilization to the stars and, in the process, made themselves the aristocrats of known space. Bred to scout, to pilot, and to trade, Clan Korval is ascendant among other families arrayed within the incredibly intricate and formal Liaden social structure. But along the way Korval makes powerful enemies. Sharon Lee and Steve Miller quite simply set the modern standard for full-on, audacious space opera in this collection of three, consecutive "Liaden Universe" novels: "Crystal Soldier", "Crystal Dragon", and "Balance of Trade". |
