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..." ([livejournal.com profile] 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.

Count me in as voting for I Dare (or I would if I could figure out how to vote in the poll - I think I have to have an LJ log in for that). I'm not sure it's your "best" work - but it's the one I pull out most often when I want to visit Clan Korval. There were a lot of plot lines to juggle in that one, and I think you did it well. As others have said, I like the development of Pat Rin's character - he really comes into his own in that one. The confrontation with the Department at Liad is classic space opera and rip-roaring fun (once you know it all turns out OK - the first time through it was a bit more hair raising). And I always enjoy the scene near the end when Korval is "called on the carpet" in front of the clans. For some reason, it reminds me of Jane Austen!

The truth, of course, is that I love them all.
