Pop Quiz: What is the Liaden Universe

[rolanni]

If you -- yes, you -- had to describe the Liaden Universe(R)in 50 words on less to a perfect stranger in a way that would (1) make sense and (2) make them want to run out and buy eleventy-leven copies of each and press them on all their friends, not to say persons chance-met on the street, what would you say? You may be as fanciful as possible, but you may not stray from the truth (i.e., "The Liaden Universe(R) is funnier than Pratchett, more epic than Tolkien, and it's a dessert topping").

Go crazy.

"The crazed mutant offspring of George Lucas and Georgette Heyer" probably isn't the capsule description you were looking for.

I actually like it, but I think our publisher would faint dead away if he heard me trot it out for a multi-chain buyer.

OTOH, in the spirit of making one's own fun...

LOL!

But not for the buyers, maybe...

It's so true, though. It's the Good Parts Version of Regency romance + space opera.

That would be Miles Vorkosigan.


Except he has integrity, unlike Lucas.

It's very memorable, though. _I like it, anyway.
