So I just jumped into this universe, using the reading order Xanthe recommended. Its a nice change of pace from epic, world-ending, cast of thousands fantasy.
Local Custom was a bit more romance than I would like but it was okay. Scout's Progress was much better. It helped that I like Daav more than Er Thom anyway. Conflict of Honors is good so far. Spoiler:

ah, you have much fun in front of you, mewgartigan. And, FWIW, Local Custom was an unabashed hommage to Georgette Heyer, so if you don't like Heyer, you're unlikely to find this your favourite book in the Liaden Universe. It does, however, have a lot of useful information and world-building for exactly how this whole thing holds together.
I've given up deciding what the "correct" reading order is, beyond noting that certain books are direct sequels, and some others build on information in previous books. But even there, I find it matters less than I thought. Whatever order you choose, enjoy the journey. |

New Liaden Short: Due Diligence
Up on the usual places, without DRM, is Due Diligence, a story set in the time of Chi yos'Phellium. This is an excellent addition to the Universe, and tells a story I've often wondered about. Highly recommended.

Agent was the first written and published. Personally, I prefer that for my reading order.

I have read Liaden series 3-4 times the last 2 times I have tried to follow the chronology timeline from here http://liaden.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline
I even broke up multi short story books etc in calibre to individual ebooks so that I can place them by timeline but its getting harder as more and more short stories are released in different parts of the timeline. |

Highly recommended. If you can wait, it will be officially released in January, at $9.99 I'm guessing, since there will be a hardcover version. But why wait. The eARC is only $15, and it's quite clean. I did spot a couple of minor typos, but they were really minor. |

For those who've already read the Neogenesis eARC, and are eagerly awaiting the Fifth-of-Five (which doesn't yet have a title, but is beginning to be thought of as Monkey Business), Sharon Lee has posted a minimal update on her blog, and a snippet!
The little Healer was not a monster, though he had wielded necessity like a surgeon's knife, terrifying in his virtue. |
