Description

Sometimes you don't have much of a choice when it comes to who you do business with. Sometimes you discover that the evil you know is a necessary evil.Hal Clement award-winning authors Sharon Lee and Steve Miller bring more of what Liaden Universe® readers have asked for with "The Beggar King," set on Liad and about the young Daav yos'Phelium's early training to be Delm. Then, in "Necessary Evils" they explore the time and space before Clan Korval, when the universe was degenerating into show more chaos, and individuals faced evil in many guises, including bio-enginnered human-plant hybrids, slavery, and of course, greed. show less
