  OUR NOVELS Agent of Change, Conflict of Honors, and Carpe Diem haven't been on the SF best-seller list, but they have reached a very persistent group of readers, many of them on the Internet.
  This year, like last, lacks a Liaden novel. Next year, in February 1999, comes our novel Plan B from Meisha Merlin. Still, our readers have asked for something for this holiday season, something Liaden. We hear you, and read our email. Hence,.
  In 1995 we brought you Two Tales of Korval, stories written as we were defining the Liaden Universe. To Cut an Edge, and A Day At The Races both dealt with recent Korval family history.
