The Dragon Variation (Liaden)

Edición de la obra The Dragon Variation

Three Liaden Novels: 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. To take scholar Anne Davis--a Terran!--as hi wife is to risk everything--his honor, his reputation, and the lives of his kin. Dare he embrace that risk, for the chance of winning his heart's desire? And a story slightly less dramatic: Scout's Progress - Aelliana Caylon, a brilliant mathemetician, 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 adn 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.
