I found two more chapbooks to add to my collection of Liaden Universe stories by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller: #15 (Misfits) and #16 (Halfling Moon).  Misfits is an early story about Redhead, Liz Lizardi, and Lizardi's Lunatics told from another character's viewpoint mainly as a flashback.  Intriguing story and setting and great characters, including ( Read more... )
