Curious writer is curious

[rolanni]

One of the interesting things about writing in a large-ish universe for, oh, a quarter-century, is that you're pretty often meeting people who have read your work (or, even more interestingly, haven't read your work), and who have formed opinions about the plot-line, the characters, the theme, the authors' childhoods, and adult proclivities. .
.

That being so, and because  people will say things either to me or within my hearing, I find myself with a question, which I will now throw out to you, the readers of the Liaden Universe®:

What is, in your opinion, the Big Story (also known as the Real Story) of the Liaden Universe® novels?

There are no right answers, or wrong answers.  Curious author is, as advertised above, curious.

Clan Korval against the Universe!

Yes, this is the closest to my own view, though I might phrase it more as the Rebuilding/Regrowth of Clan Korval.

Yes, if there is one large overarching plot, this would be it for me. Every book has its own central plot, but inasmuch as they connect together, the underlying theme for me is, Clan Korval surviving and thriving against all comers.
