Agent of Change

1988

Two tough-but-tender characters with a bright future—if they live that long. Terran Miri Robertson was a mercenary, but she retired to a cushy job as a private bodyguard. What she didn't know what that her client had powerful enemies. Now he's dead, and they're after her.

Conflict of Honors

1988

Sixteen-year-old Priscilla Delacroix was declared legally dead by her mother, High Priestess of the Goddess. Banished to survive on her own, Priscilla has roamed the galaxy for ten years as an outcast—to become a woman of extraordinary skill... An experienced officer assigned to the Liaden vessel Daxflan, she's been abandoned yet again. Betrayed by her captain and shipmates, she's left to fend for herself on a distant planet. But Priscilla is not alone. Starship captain Shan yos'Galen is about to join Priscilla's crusade for revenge. He has his own score to settle with the enemy. But confronting the sinister crew will be far easier—and safer—than confronting the demons of Priscilla's own mysterious past.

Carpe Diem

1989

On the run from assassins, Val Con yos'Phelium and Miri Robertson are stranded on a distant planet and must learn to trust each other if they're going to survive - and learn to love each other if they're going to heal the dark wounds of their past.

Plan B

1999

Clan Korval searches for Val Con, a fugitive, and Mira after they commandeer Vandar's only spaceship to go to Mira's home on Lytaxin, while Shan yos'Galan, Val Con's cousin, unleashes Plan B, a series of events that could destroy the entire galaxy. Reprint.

Doch Clan Korval zu vernichten, ist keine leichte Aufgabe - vor allem nicht, da Val Con und Miri Robertson sich beharrlich weigern, den Intrigen und Attentaten ihrer Feinde zum Opfer zu fallen. Selbst allein und verzweifelt handelnde Clanangehörige beginnen, Vorbereitungen für den Schlag gegen die Abteilung zu treffen. Der Showdown für Clan Korval rückt immer näher. Der fünfte Roman aus dem LIADEN-Zyklus. Originaltitel: I Dare (part 2)

Korvals Nemesis

2002

Eine der größten Space Operas unserer Zeit Der Kampf um die Herrschaft über Liad tritt in die entscheidende Phase. Anstatt sich von der Abteilung für Innere Angelegenheiten die Ereignisse diktieren zu lassen, hat Clan Korval die Initiative ergriffen - und nicht nur der Clan, sondern auch manche, mit deren Eingreifen man niemals gerechnet hätte. Dennoch steht das Schicksal Liads auf Messers Schneide, und es ist gut möglich, dass ein Sieg über die Abteilung gleichzeitig eine Niederlage für Clan Korval werden könnte ... Originaltitel: I Dare (part 2)
