I have every Liaden Universe book I could scrounge and reading Theo's story only leaves me hungry for more, more, more. As an inveterate typo finder, I thought that reading a live first draft would drive me buggy- DIDN'T HAPPEN - Theo's life kept me totally engaged. Seeing the tie-ins with the main Clan Korval storyline as well as with Jethri's, Cantra's, and Jela's storylines left me wanting to know more. The connections call out for more "side character" stories. Surely, more about the seemingly eternal crew of the original Uncle, Arin, and Dulsy of Jela and Cantra's time to the Uncle of Arin and Jethri on to the Uncle of Theo's current dilemma. More about Jethri and the creation of the "antique ship" that Theo is now key-holder to. More about 'Boss Conrad' Pat Rin and Surebleak, and where the Tree's new home will be, how Korval will handle the relocation.... Do all of us who love Korval and the Liaden Universe a great favor- KEEP WRITING - be it web serializations or fresh new books, I can't wait to see what will happen next. When Theo's books come out from Baen I will be there waiting, even tho I've already read her story. Write on, please, for after all, necessity exists.
kudos to you both
