mbarkerIf you've never read any Liaden Universe (r) books, I envy you!
Why? Because you've got a chance, right now, to enter this contest and win three books that will introduce you to this great series. Right over here http://sharonleewriter.com/2010/07/expanding-universe-contest/
In Local Custom, you'll meet Anne Davis, a linguist and scholar, who once upon a time met a fine young Liaden man called Er Thom who just wanted to say "I love you" once more before he forgot... and see how clan and custom tried to tear them apart, as they struggled to work out their lives. Oh, and don't forget Shan, their son?
Then in Scout's Progress, you'll meet Aelliana, a mathematician, who lived quietly, trying to avoid her brother's attention, until... she met a fellow called Daav. And then the worlds started to spin.
And in Conflict of Honors, you'll meet Priscilla, a young woman who was working her way up on trading ships, until... well, you'll see. And you'll get to meet Shan again as an adult! And see them figure out how to keep their honor bright.
Clans, customs, honor, characters that you want to meet -- and a healthy dash of romance? Good reading!
And after you finish those three, you've still got the rest of the series to read! And re-read, because these are rich books that repay re-reading, again and again. To be completely honest, I just recently re-read both Local Custom and Scout's Progress myself -- and Mouse and Dragon, which is the sequel to Scout's Progress.
So -- go enter the contest. And if you win, enjoy! If you don't win, well, the ebooks and paper copies are available from Baen webscriptions (at http://www.webscription.net/p-1188-the-dragon-variation.aspx) or fine bookstores everywhere, so get yourself a copy and enjoy! Because I have to tell you, you should read these books.
And then you'll know why I envy you.
