The Crystal Variation by Sharon Lee, Steve Miller
4.0
Lee, Sharon, and Steve Miller. The Crystal Variation. Liaden Universe Nos. 1-3. Baen, 2006,
The Crystal Variation is one of several handy places to start reading the Liaden books. It contains the two Great Migration novels, Crystal Soldier and Crystal Dragon, and the first of the Jethri novels, Balance of Trade. The Crystal novels deal with the Liaden clan founders, Jela and Cantera, and the ancient war between two powerful alien races that shape Liaden evolution. The setting in Balance of Trade is so far in the future that Cantera has become the traditional name for Liaden currency. I have reviewed each novel separately. 4 stars for economy.
