Uncle Hugo’s Science Fiction Bookstore in Minneapolis will once again kindly be taking preorders for signed and/or personalized copies of ACCEPTING THE LANCE. Here is what they have to say:People have been asking all year when they will be able to order signed copies of the next Liaden novel by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, Accepting the Lance ($25.00, expected early December), and you can get your copy personalized if you order by November 10. We’ve just arranged to also have signed copies of two Liaden novelettes in trade paperback, Adventures in the Liaden Universe #28: Fortune’s Favor ($8.00, expected by mid-September) and Adventures in the Liaden Universe #29: Shout of Honor ($10.00, expected by mid-September). These will be signed but not personalized. If you wish to order all 3 Liaden books, we can either send the trade paperbacks right away (with a $6.00 shipping charge) and the hardcover in December (with another $6.00 shipping charge), or we can hold them all until December (and only have a single $6.00 shipping charge). If you are ordering all 3 Liaden books, please let us know in the Order Comments section during checkout if you want one shipment or two shipments. The Order Comments section is also where you should put your personalization request for Accepting the Lance.

Advance praise for Lee and Miller’s Accepting the Lance:
ACCEPTING THE LANCE is a tour de force! So many threads woven, so many pieces moved on the board, old and new friends met, this book is an extraordinary installment in a brilliant series. I stayed up till 3 a.m. reading it and I have zero regrets. An incredible ride of a book!

Before I spend huge amounts of $$$ for LIADEN UNIVERSE COMPANION VOLUME ONE
can you put a Table of Contents someplace?
If the stories are already collected in CONSTELLAIION volumes then I can save a few trees.
Thank you,
Irene
The only way you’re coming up with the Companion volume is through a used bookstore, it having been published in 2005 as it was, by SRM Publisher, which is no longer in business. So, yanno, you could ask the bookseller for a TOC. If they’re charging BIG BUCKS they do a little work. Failing that, the Companion collected all the stories from Adventures in the Liaden Universe(R) 1-5, plus the stories in The Cat’s Job.
You can find the contents of the individual Adventures in chapbooks here: https://www.pinbeambooks.com/ebooks-you-want-to-read/adventures-in-the-liaden-universe/
And the contents of The Cat’s Job here: https://www.pinbeambooks.com/ebooks-you-want-to-read/lee-and-miller/
