12. The next book in Sharon Lee and Steve Miller's Liaden Universe

According to Miller and Lee, there are four so far: CONFLICT OF
HONORS, AGENT OF CHANGE, and CARPE DIEM, all published by Del Rey;
and PLAN B, published in a signed, limited edition by Meisha Merlin
They also have a chapbook called "Two Tales of Korval", available from
the authors themselves since December 1995. "It's a charming two-story
book set in the Liaden Universe, well worth reading for the hooked."
There are two prequels, as yet unpublished: LOCAL CUSTOM and SCOUT'S
PROGRESS. [Extracted from a Liaden home page by Steve Miller and Sharon
Lee [kinzel@mint.net and rolanni@mint.net.]

Updates:
PLAN B has now been published in an autographed limited-run hardcover
and a trade paperback from Meisha Merlin as well.

A three-in-one omnibus of the first three books titled PARTNERS IN
NECESSITY appeared in February of 2000.

SCOUT'S PROGRESS and LOCAL CUSTOM debuted together as a single volume
in February 2001 titled PILOT'S CHOICE.

A new novelette, "Balance of Trade", was published in ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDE,
issue 11. The "Coming in the Next Issue" feature promises that Issue 12
of ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDE will have another Liaden story, "Choice of Weapons."
[Updates from Rich Horton [rrhorton@prodigy.net].]

Future plans:

I DARE has been turned in should be published in February 2002.
Contracted for February 2003 is BALANCE OF TRADE (working title).
Contracts are in the works for a book each for 2004 and 2005 to deal
with the teaming of Jela and Cantra.

Ace mass market editions of the seven existing Liaden Universe(R) novels
are set to begin appearing early 2002.

The other frequent question they've been getting: "Will there be a one
volume collection of the short works any time soon?"

The answer is: Not currently in the cards. One reason is that we've got
a backlog of short story requests and we're looking at five or six
"write this real soon" items and we're two weeks behind on one due last
month. Things may clarify after next summer's book tour, but not likely
before, so right now the chapbooks or the originating magazines are the
source for those.
