I also belong to Liad. This mailing list of the Liaden Universe run by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller who wrote "Agent of Change", and "I Dare" among many others. *Wonderful* books. They are right up there with Steves books on my comfort shelf. The Dragaera list was mentioned there. Seeing as how Jhereg is one of favorite books of all time, I hoofed it over here as fast as I could type. :) Alan P.S. If you are interested in Liad, a note to Mr. Deagauss at deagauss at korval.com will get you started. > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas Yan [mailto:tyan at twcny.rr.com] > Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 18:43 > To: dragaera at dragaera.info > Subject: How did you discover ... ? > > > I'm curious.
