The Dragon Variation
by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller

Three space adventure novels
in the popular Liaden Universe® series
in one popularly-priced Omni edition:

Local Custom—Master Trader Er Thom yos'Galan knows that Liaden custom is to be matched with a proper bride and provide his clan, Korval, with an heir. Yet his heart is immersed in another universe, influenced by another culture, and lost to a woman not of his world. And to take a Terran wife such as scholar Anne Davis is to risk both his honor and reputation—not to mention the lives of loved ones.

Scout's Progress—Aelliana Caylon is a brilliant mathematician, revered by pilots for the life-saving revisions she brought to the ven'Tura Piloting Tables. Despite this, her home life is terrifying, as the target of her elder brother's spite and her mother's indifference. Convinced that she has no recourse, Aelliana endures, until, on a dare, she plays a game of chance and wins a spaceship. Suddenly she has a way to escape her drab life—if she can qualify as a pilot, and survive her brother's abuse.

Conflict of Honors—Declared legally dead by a High Priestess of the Goddess and abandoned by her mother, Priscilla Delacroix has roamed the galaxy for ten years, surviving and becoming a woman of extraordinary skills. Now, she's been betrayed and abandoned once again, left on a distant planet by the Liaden starship on which she had been an important officer. But she's not alone: starship captain Shan yos'Galan has his own score to settle with the same enemy and is about to offer her an alliance.

While I love Lee and Miller's books I was disappointed to realize this was not a new book but a repackaging. I am eager to finish the story of Theo in Fledgling.

I was so engrossed in reading these that I literally read all night. I finished Scout's Progress, and realized the sun was coming up. Delightful books, with characters who are easy to sympathize with.

The Liaden universe is one of the best series i have ever read. The stories are great and the world building is intricate without being overwhelming. Its not until you finish reading that you realise how immersed you get. Recommend to readers of romance and of SciFi - a little for everyone

4. Matthew on 6/2/2010, said:

This is a great introduction to the Liadan Universe, and I agree that it sets a good basis for the rest of the series. But of course I say that from having read all the books. Next you could read "Mouse and Dragon," as it picks up where "Scout's Progress" ends. I really enjoy the Liadan universe. Even the short stories fill in background on different characters and adds to the universe's richness.

5. Antti-Juhani on 3/16/2010, said:

These three novels are a good (but no means the only) introduction to the great Liaden series of spaceoperatic scale. All three (though not everything in the series) are romances with extremely capable principals; the last two are also their heroines' self-discovery stories. As always, Lee and Miller's characters are well constructed, very likable and trouble magnets. 5he worldbuilding in the whole series is excellent. Strongly recommended. (Do also note the new novel "Mouse and Dragon, a direct sequel to "Scout's Progress")

Just kidding! (Already bought the webscription, even though it's not even 1/2 available.)
