missingvolume | #50 Dragon in Exile by Sharon Lee, Steve Miller

I love the Liaden books. This one feels more like a setup book to get everyone in place for the next story arc. Everyone that is one Surebleak is onscreen at some point during the story. Even the few members of Korval that are not on planet are mentioned. Most of the story is about setting the society of Surebleak on a better path and not devolving back to the time of it all being run by gangs. There is a portion of the book also dealing with the agents of the Department that are currently in the care of Korval and what happens to them. This is not the best place for someone to start reading but with this book touching on almost everyone in clan Korval it can work that way as getting an introduction to almost everyone that will be in future stories.
