What is Lee and Miller's BEST Work? You decide!

[rolanni]

OK! Here's some fun. Far more often than seldom, a review will appear -- either in a professional venue, or in a blog, or on Amazon, which states, "While X is not up to Lee and Miller's BEST work..." (robotech_master, yours is only one in a long line). This sort of thing has always seemed...like a bit of a cheat...to me, because, yanno, here's this reader who knows what Lee and Miller's BEST work is -- and they're not going tell you!

Dirty pool, I say.

So, here's your chance. Below is a list of longer Liaden works. Which is the Best? Choose one and only one, then! Defend your choice in comments.

Have at it.

Wow, talk about difficult decisions.

The problem here (if problem there truly be,) is that you write books full of characters that one can care about. I am so tired of realizing, a couple of chapters into a novel, that I simply don't give a rat's a__ whether the characters in the book live or die. That simply doesn't happen to me with your tales.

I think that the main reason I chose Scout's Progress is that more than any of the other books, it takes place within Liaden society. Most of the other books find the characters in settings that are either not Liaden at all, or are outside the mainstream of Liaden culture. Scout's Progress, on the other hand, is eyebrow deep in Liad.
