Jethri Gobelyn has risen far: from despised youngest on a Terran
family Loop ship to second trader on premier Liaden tradeship Elthoria
under the guidance of his unlikely foster-mother Norn ven'Deelin Clan
Ixin. Master Trader ven'Deelin has taught Jethri much, and she expects
great things from him. Indeed, one might say she demands them. Jethri
has inherited a mission from his father, a plan that will allow family
Loop ships like the one he grew up on to survive the encroachment of
Rostov's Dust. In this, he's backed by several prominent Looper
families who are scheduled to meet and plan at the South Axis Trade
Fair. In what seems to be a fortunate pairing of missions, Master
Trader ven'Deelin sees Jethri become lead trader on his own small
ship, which is scheduled to arrive at the South Axis
Fair. Unfortunately, that "fortunate coincidence" may instead be a
test of Jethri's loyalties, as he's thrust into a tangle of
gray-trading, mistaken identity, misinformation, and galactic
politics.

Liaden Universe #25: Salvage Right
Signed by the authors.
A door never closes, but a window opens . . .
With origins in the Old Universe, the malevolent, acquisitive intelligence of Tinsori Light sought to infect others with itself, and send those agents out into the wide new universe to infect even more.
For centuries, two heroes stood between Tinsori Light and the vulnerable universe—Light Keepers Jen Sin yos'Phelium and Lorith of the Sanderat.
Just when it seemed that they—merely human—must fail, Tinsori Light, enfeebled by aged systems, succumbed to the stress of a unique spatial event—and died, leaving the station a shell.
Luckily, the light keepers have back-up. A mismatched team of arcane specialists are on-station, working non-step to preserve the Light, build trustworthy systems, and open the refurbished station for business.
In fact, ships are already incoming, and it becomes a matter of urgency to sort friend from foe. In particular, the Lyre Institute wishes to acquire Tinsori Light, and will do anything, spend anyone, to achieve that goal.

Liaden Universe #26: Ribbon Dance
Signed by the Sharon Lee.
On a world where cake is a necessity, it takes the Grid to protect the civilized and the deaf from the dire influences of the ambient and to keep the chaotic Haosa at bay. Having arrived at recently Dust-bound Colemeno, Trader Padi yos'Galan is essential to Master Trader Shan yos'Galan's plan to recoup Korval's clan fortunes by establishing new routes for the clan's tradeship. Shan's inner Healer insists Padi come to terms with her as-yet unplumbed psychic abilities, which might place her in the top tier of dramliz, if she can learn control. Padi yearns to concentrate on trade, but Colemeno's fey ambient and deadly long-term politics combine to bring her face-to-face with the Haosa, and in particular with the mysterious and untouchable Tekelia, as Korval's trade mission's necessity of a port audit collide with a cruel history of murder, deception, and brutality. Amid the dangers, Padi unexpectedly finds herself eagerly exploring her dramliz side when faced with the unspoken powers of the ambient, the sky-filling energy of the ribbon dance, and Tekelia's mutable eyes"

Liaden Universe #23: Trader's Leap
Signed by the authors on tipped-in signature page.
The only bridge between past and future is a leap of faith.
Pursued by enemies, exiled Liaden clan Korval is settling into a new base on backworld Surebleak. Moving is expensive, as is war, and Korval is strapped for cash. Delm Korval has therefore instructed Master Trader Shan yos'Galan to design and implement new trade routes, quickly.
But this is no easy task. Dutiful Passage is targeted by Korval's enemies, denied docking at respectable ports, and cheated at those less respectable. Struggling to recuperate from an attack on his life, while managing daughter Padi's emerging psychic talents, Shan is running out of options—and time. His quest to establish the all-important trade route puts him at odds with his lifemate, while doubting crew desert the ship. Facing the prospect of failure, Shan accepts the assistance of chancy allies and turns the Passage toward a port only just emerging from Rostov's Dust and awash with strange energies.
Without trade, Clan Korval will starve. Will a trader's leap of faith save everything—or doom all?
