New short story up

"Eleutherios" by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller is now up on the Baen site, where it can be read for free.  Here's the link -- you do have to scroll down to find the start of the story.

OK - just finished reading it. Wonderful story, as usual. It was an unexpected side trip that stands alone, yet fits beautifully. Thanks again!

Thank you! I love music integrated into the story. It makes me think of Val Con.

After reading the title, I had to think "wait, they're invading <A HREF='http://www.davidmswitzer.com/slonczewski/">Joan Slonczewski's universe</A>?"

Thinking specifically of her book 'Brain Plague'.

Sadly not familiar with Ms. Slonczewski's work. However Eleutherios is a fine old Greek word for liberty, or, more specifically, "the liberating spirit."

I see, that makes sense. ^_^

The actual stories are very different!

Once again, you have created a marvel - a short story that stands on it's own as a perfect little gem - complete unto itself, yet with a web of connections that reward those who know your work.

Thank you both for sharing this with us.

This exactly "web of connections that reward those who know your work."

Thank you. (and thank you bobzchemist for saying it so well.)
