Thanks!

Picked up the ebook format of the last Constellation collection book, which I somehow didn't have already.

New FREE Lee & Miller Liaden story up on Baen.com at: https://www.baen.com/preferred-seati...r-s-leap-story

CRussel · 11-28-2020, 01:43 AM

New chapbook up on Baen, Amazon, and probably other places. https://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Condi...dp/B08MH2QGPD/.

Victoria · 11-29-2020, 03:18 PM

Thanks muchly Charlie!

CRussel · 11-29-2020, 07:19 PM

My pleasure. And it really is, because I quite enjoyed both stories. The Galaxy Ballroom story had already appeared on Baen.com, but the Ambient Conditions was new. And I found the author's note on it interesting. And fairly scary.

Just a heads up that a new chapbook, Change State, was published on Amazon today. $4.29 Canadian; 98 pages. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XP2768X/

Description from Amazon:

“ Includes two stories set in far corners of the Liaden Universe®. Short story "Command Decision," which first appeared in the anthology Release the Virgins, features Bjarni, a man with a nose for 'shroom, improbably standing at the intersection of change and tradition.

Novella "Dead Men Dream," is original to this chapbook, and harks back to the time of Lee and Miller's novel Trade Secret. What is life after death, after all, if not an adventure?”

Does anyone have a list of all the books/novellas/shorts in date published? Thanks.

CRussel · 03-05-2021, 01:22 AM

Jon: Korval.com

@Victoria: Yes, I'm just reading the first story now. The other was part of a Kickstarter project I helped fund, so I've already read it. But a re-read won't hurt!

Thanks and kudos Charlie! They can certainly use the support, and we have the pleasure of another book.

Jon, I also find the table at the end of this wiki page helpful when trying to sort out the order of the short stories - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liaden_universe

JSWolf · 03-05-2021, 09:37 AM

But where do the shorts fall in order?I can see a reading order and a published order but the shorts are not included.

So do we have a reading order list and a date published list including the shorts?

Sorry, not I don’t know of one.

The short stories are written organically, not chronologically. At the beginning, it seemed a bit chaotic, but actually they mirror life. We know someone / something for a while and then learn something new about their past - it gives us more insight into today.

If one just read the short stories chronologically, I don’t they’d have the same depth of understanding.

CRussel · 03-06-2021, 02:17 PM

I quite agree with you, Victoria. Though if one must instill an order into them, use the anthologies as the organization. There are currently four of them, starting with A Liaden Constellation - Volume I. They're not in strict chronological order, but they ARE in the order the authors chose to put them in. Good enough for me.

JSWolf · 03-06-2021, 05:06 PM

Have a look at these lists and see what you think of them? Thanks.

Neat! This is a new one for me - thanks Jon!

A new little splinter up on the Splinter Universe. An outtake from Carpe Diem.
