Davies (Illustrator) Before Miri Robertson met Val Con yos'Phelium she was an acclaimed mercenary soldier. Before she was an acclaimed mercenary soldier with the Gyrfalks, she was "Redhead," a young recruit in Lizardi's Lunatics. Meanwhile, there was a weatherman, Ichliad Brunner. A weatherman's job is to observe and predict. What else can an honorable Liaden do, but his duty? A space-based Liaden meteorologist can only observe the trials of a mercenary troop abandoned in place during a world war fueled by hate and superstition. The young soldier who carries the station's weather equipment to the surface, is cheerful, bright, and going to die. The station commander isn't concerned because the data on weapons used to gas populations and destroy cities is priceless, while the soldiers below are only misfits. Misfits like Miri Robertson, who doesn't know quite when to give up. The framing story is set immediately after the novel "I Dare", and ties those early characters back into the main intentions/plot direction laid out at the end of "I Dare".

From Reader Review Misfits for online ebook Kathleen says Good story, in anthology Constellation II Before Miri Robertson met Val Con yos'Phelium, she was a member of Lizardi's Mercenaries. Most of their elite clients could care less about these misfit mercenaries, and want only to use them — not to offer full disclosure, not to warn them, or help them. Thus, Miri and the Mercs are vulnerable to lethal radiation exposure on Klamath. Our noble meteorologist, a member of Clan Lystra from Liad, is another story. Ichliad Brunner puts himself at risk on several levels to do right by Miri and others. He pays a big price for it, too. Sad. Dimrod delm. However, ten years later, the wheel turns again. Miri re-enters his life, Val Con at her side. Recommended to Liaden Universe fans. Satisfying. Coherent. Filling in some blanks, connecting Miri's past to the present, and offering hope that Surebleak truly can be warmed (perhaps like Bujold's Komarr is heated, with huge orbiting mirrors). FREE, via Baen: http://www.baenebooks.com/chapters/19... Ps. Meteorologist Brunner is briefly mentioned again in Necessity's Child (great book). Ren Zel meets with him to discuss ways to heat the chilly planet. Erin Penn says The best of the Adventures in the Liaden Universe chapbooks I have read so far - 68 pages all focused on one story instead of the normal two. Set directly after "I Dare", this backstory fills some important holes in Miri Robertson's history, although the POV character is the Weatherman, not Miri. Miri's time on Klamath has impacted her life and is mentioned many times in the main novels as a dark, dark time. When a world at war crumbled around her. Usually when an author shines a spotlight on such times, it never quite reaches the horror better left imagined. Not in this case. The weather on Kalmath is a living entity. Layers upon layers of worldbuilding happen as the situation of war and weather spiral into the "Dark Night of the Soul" situation. Necessary of duty drives the misfits - from the Scout located above the situation he is trying to fix, to the Weatherman who can only watch and predict, and the young merc on the ground tasked with, of all things, carrying a weather station in a war zone. All of them have a duty just to observe, but in the end, they all choose to go beyond their duty and act. Great story. Karen says PDF File: Misfits... 3 Read and Download Ebook Misfits... Loved it. Paraphrodite says 4 stars. This story gives us a solid glimpse into Miri as a young mercenary and the first time she met Brunner the weatherman. Another really good backstory filler. Kerry says Oooh, I liked this one. It was lovely to see the other side of what happened on Klamath, and the ending, where Brunner and Miri are reunited (not a spoiler, I don't think) was lovely. Reading these chapbooks has artificially upped my reading count for the year as they are all short, but this is how I'm reading them, as individual books, so I'm adding them. And they have been lovely fun. I shall now go back to Fledgling and try out using Wispersync on my phone as I also have the audiobook. I'm looking forward to it. Li says I am loving the fact that Sharon Lee & Steve Miller are releasing their Liaden Universe chapbooks in ebook format. This one was another great "fill-in-the-gaps"-type short story - we get to see Miri from another person's perspective, and it had a totally satisfying ending. Estara says I read this first for free at BAEN's Webscription site, because it was written for their online magazine. It's quite a long novella detailling the story of what happened to the Lizardi mercenaries on Klamath, what Miri Robertson's role was in that attack and what all of this had to do with a Liaden weatherman who put his professional ethics before his clan pride. It all has a happy end, but very dire situations in the middle. Certainly one of the strongest Liaden Tales I've read so far. Laura (Kyahgirl) says 4.5/5; 5 stars; A PDF File: Misfits... 4 Read and Download Ebook Misfits... Throughout the Liaden Universe books there are periodic references to Miri's experiences on Klamath when she was with the mercenaries. The overall impression one gets is that it was horrendous, it was amazing that she survived, it led to her near fatal addiction to Cloud (nobody gets off Cloud, and she lost some very dear comrades. Misfits is the story that fills in a lot of the blanks about this time in Miri's life. Its told from the POV of The Weatherman, who was stationed in orbit around the planet, as he tried to help her and her troop survive. He broke a lot of rules in order to do the right thing and was severely punished by his clan. However, he survived, Miri, survived and they carried on and met again, years later, shortly after Korval was evicted from Liad. Hopefully future Liaden universe books will show them making some progress in fixing the godawful weather on Surebleak! NAY Young says Great Miri story - but the highlight is the character of the weatherman. I'd like to read more about him. Rita C says Directly connected to Miri, and a very good story. :) Sbuchler says This is my favorite of all of the Liaden short-stories/novellas – it tells the story of Miri’s time on Klamath, from the perspective of the Liaden weatherman (Ichliad Brunner) assigned to liaise with Miri who is assigned to ferry around the sensitive and necessary weather detection equipment Ichliad needs to monitor Klamath’s confusing and dangerous weather. Ichliad is a good weatherman, but not an important person – and he pays the price for choosing to provide aid to those on Klamath rather than guard his employer’s interests. Colleen says This was a complete sigh of contentment. Miri had always wondered what happened to the weatherman on Klamath. This is his side of the story, from back before Klamath shook apart all the way to his belated re- acquaintance with Miri after Liad itself suffered liberation. I can't explain it. You need to go read Conflict of Honors, Agent of Change, Carpe Diem, Plan B, and I Dare. Then you'll understand how incredibly satisfying this short story is to Liaden fans. PDF File: Misfits... 5.
