Interesting addition to the seriesBy Avid readerNecessity's Child is a very interesting addition to the Liaden Universe. There are three distinct writing styles within this book. The first is Surbleek a rough and tumble 1930's gangster style that reminds me of the original Star Trek episode, A Piece of the Action. It contains all the "action" and chopped words that rough hooligans of the planet used. The second is a flowing narrative of the Liadens and clan Korval. Normally there is a very dry humor running through this that has helped to create such a memorable series. Finally was a new group, the Kompani. I found myself stopping while reading to really think about who they were and what they stood for. Especially in the beginning this really took some effort and open mindedness.This book starts just after Meri is attacked at the dance and ends shortly after she had her child. Although there are glimpses, this book does not contain much of Korval and does not progress the general story arc, or answer any of the cliffhangers from the previous few books. I felt cheated about this at first, until I realized how powerfully this story could affect the future story arc. It still makes waiting for the next installment frustrating. LOL.This book really had three main characters: a girl of the Kompani, a boy of Korval and a hurt operative from the Department of Interior. It measures the progress and growth of these individuals and the possible future alliance. The Kompani girl is confronted with a culture very different than her own and has to try to balance her culture/traditions with this other culture. The continuing costs of Plan B are demonstrated by a boy who is too serious for his age and must try to interact with other cultures and bullying. In doing so, he asks his mother to adopt a sister for him. Finally, is there hope for a former Department of the Interior agent of change? Val Con broke their training (twice) but with the help of the clutch turtle training; what can help these formerly smart dedicated individuals who have done terrible acts of terror? What if someone highjacks their programming and forces them to do it again?As with any great book you think about the issues raised long after you finish reading the words on the page. I have been unable to stop thinking about this book since I finished reading it. While not action packed like others in the series or fun like Theo's books can be, this is a strong book within the series. It will not be an easy book to read and will require some dexterity on the part of the reader to follow all the transitions in style and characters, but it is worthy of the effort.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A Pleasant Digression. Now get back to the main story!By E. Nolan_Necessity's Child_ is the latest "Liaden Universe" novel by Lee Miller,and like all such is quite enjoyable. This particular book is somethingof a digression though. If you want to know if Kamele gets back togetherwith Daav and Alieana (and finally realizes that that's what she's doing)or find out what Theo and her newly bonded ship are up to.. well, youwon't find it out here. The action of _Necessity's Child_ overlapsseveral recent Liaden offerings (for instance, Val Con goes off on hismission to rescue the Interdicted World from The Department of The Interiorduring this book), but the focus is different.The action largely centers on two middle school children, clan Korval'sSyl Vor and Kezzi, a child of the "kompani" (space gypsies, essentially),with one of the DOI's cast-aside "Agents Of Change" Rys added to the mixto keep the stakes reasonably high.Finally arrived on Clan Korval's new homeworld of Surebleak, Syl Voris a child used harshly by the clan's emergency regimen "Plan B".Given perhaps too much responsibility then, he is unsure how toadjust to a normal childhood again, especially as his older cousinsscatter. It doesn't help that his mother, Nova, is habitually somewhatcool and distant and that strict security keeps him from making localfriends. When the clan's ongoing effort to mold Surebleak's feudal"boss" system into something that will support a modern economyand reasonable public safety entails establishing an "all territory"public school, Syl Vor sees his chance to do something useful for theclan as he did under "Plan B" and perhaps make friends and bond withhis mother.Kezzi is the child of a dying subculture, too inbred to continue muchlonger. The kompani have always kept apart from Surebleak though theyhave lived there in hiding for perhaps hundreds of years. Now the lonemember of what is likely to be the last generation of kompani children,she finds herself guided by her mentor, the local priestess, to becomeinvolved in the affairs of Surebleak Korval. That and chance (butchance is always an active agent in the Liaden Universe) lead her toSyl Vor's new model school and a stint as Nova's temnporary daughter.If she and Syl Vor can bring Korval kompani together, and if Ryscan overcome the demons which threaten to destroy him and those nearestto him, perhaps Korval's plans for Surebleak may advance further thananyone expected. If not, perhaps hope for Surebleak ends here..Lee Miller always describe their stories as "character driven". That'svery true. Liaden Universe technology is just "Star Wars and whateverwe need for this book", but I find myself waking up in the morningswondering what is going to happen to these people and hoping things willwork out well for them, and that rarely happens for me with other books.Now, come on and tell us what happened with Daav, Alieana, Kamele, TheUncle Theo!20 of 21 people found the following review helpful. An outstanding addition to the Liaden Universe seriesBy NorthAtlanticIslanderI was so excited that Necessity's Child would be available on Kindle a little earlier than the book release in February. I am glad I sprung for it, as it is a worthy addition to the series, focusing on an unknown character, a youth, who has borne up bravely during his family's daring and complicated run for their lives under Plan B. He continues to approach life with the same responsibility and seriousness as his mother and grandfather. The continuity through the family line is sweet. I really like this character, he makes his choices with a quirky blend of honor, industriousness, reason, and intuition; and in doing so the Luck continues to weave its way through the lives of his clan and the people around it. Also introduced in this book is the Kompani, an intriguing gypsy clan with an arcane, almost Steampunk blend of technology and magic in their culture, that dwells mysterious and unseen among the other denizens of Surebleak. I plan to read this one to my kids, save one chapter that is graphically sexual. It's just that awesome. I love these authors, can't wait for the next one! Stirring SF adventure from master storytellers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller—#16 in the award-winning Liaden Universe® saga. Space ships, action, adventure—all tied together with a strong dollop of romance and clan intrigue—make this a compelling series for a wide range of readers, from romance to military SF lovers.The kompani see none as an enemy, and yet few as friend. The kompani exist in many places, living quietly in the shadows, thriving off the bounty that others have no wit to secure, nor skill to defend. Their private history is unwritten; their recall rooted in dance and dream. The Clan Korval is in many ways the opposite of the kompani. The interstellar trading clan is wealthy in enemies, fortunate in friends. Korval protects itself with vigor, and teaches even its youngest children the art of war.And when representatives of Clan Korval arrive on the planet Surebleak where the kompani has lived, secret and aloof, the lives of three people intersect— Kezzi, apprentice to the kompani's grandmother; Syl Vor, Clan Korval's youngest warrior; and Rys, a man without a world, or a past.Necessity's Child is a standalone adventure in the popular and exciting Liaden Universe®.At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About the AuthorMaine-based writers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller teamed up in the late 1980s to bring the world the story of Kinzel, a inept wizard with a love of cats, a thirst for justice, and a staff of true power. Since then, the husband- and-wife have written dozens of short stories, and eighteen novels, most set in their star-spanning Liaden Universe®. Before settling down to the serene and stable life of a science fiction and fantasy writer, Steve was a traveling poet, a rock-band reviewer, reporter, and editor of a string of community newspapers.

More Depth to the Liaden UniverseBy K. M. MartinThis eighteenth Liaden Universe novel focuses on change both personal and galactic. I don't think that it is a book for someone new to the Liaden novels though the author's do try to assist a new reader in the Prologue. But for long- standing fans of this series (one that I have been reading since about 1985), this story was a marvel and a wonder.Korval is now situated on Surebleak and trying to find a place for itself. They are also trying to find their place in the larger galactic community. While they did their best - including leveling parts of Liad - to defeat the Department of the Interior, they were not able to completely eradicate it. The remaining much-diminished Department has set the elimination of Korval as its only focus. And the Department doesn't care about collateral damage.Besides this large outside enemy, they are also dealing with citizens of Surebleak who would like to return things to the way it was before Pat Rin arrived and changed Surebleak to meet his needs.
