Teaser: The black pennant snapped jauntily as Miri quick-marched the unit from the shuttle. The pennon was all they were allowed until the local flags came to head them up: they were to expect them in a few hours. In the meantime the large buff crescent with it’s two smaller followers smiled over them as Miri counted 100 paces in a straight line, called a right-ho,marched them 200 more and then called a stand-to with a salute to the shuttle.
The story of Klamath is complex, and as we present it here in Splinter Universe, both unfinished and in disparate and at times conflicting pieces. Our parts in the story came from a piece of back-brain information that filtered through to us while Agent of Change, the first Liaden Universe novel, was in progress. That information was the news that Miri Robertson, Mercenary Soldier, had not always lived a pure and wholesome life and in fact had taken a bit of a detour from the straight and narrow following the the effective destruction of civilization on Klamath, if not before.
Steve’s intro here
We here at Splinter Universe have decided to try something new and exciting, and host guest stories by other authors, not only to give Lee and Miller a break, but to give you — yes, you — the chance to discover authors who may have escaped your attention.
As it is no sooner decided than acted upon (ahem), we hereby present March’s Guest Author and Story — Bud Sparhawk and Somewhere, A Sea.
We hope you enjoy this new feature.
“The Space at Tinsori Light” has now been collected, with “Intelligent Design,” into eChapbook Legacy Systems: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 19.
The chapbook is available in the Nook and Kindle stores and in multiple formats at Smashwords.
Check back for exciting additions to the Splinter area of Splinter Universe!
Because I have rocks for brains, I forgot to say that the two stories which have aged off the site, “Kin Ties,” and “Guaranteed Delivery,” are now available in eChapbook Courier Run, available in the Nook Store, the Kindle Store and at Smashwords.
Pinbeam Books is a useful guide to the eChapbooks, and what’s in each, with a link to each book’s catalog page at BN/Amazon/Smashwords.

“The Space at Tinsori Light” has been added to Splinter Universe, with a special! bonus!: The original outline of the story, as written while the author traveled West on the California Zephyr, one fine and early August morn.
Enjoy!
Short story “Russians in My Head,” with an Introduction by the Author, has been posted to Splinter Universe.
…I can’t imagine how this is going to work, but I’m told that the former set-up isn’t working at all. The wages of the web-operator being tech-deficient.
In any case, and in case the RSS feed did not work in the former case, but has worked in the latter, being this, case: Splinter Universe is pleased to announce that Liaden Universe® short story “Guaranteed Delivery” is now able to be read on another part of this website, namely here.
