I read this first for free at BAEN's Webscription site, because it was written for their online magazine.

Certainly one of the strongest Liaden Tales I've read so far.

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.
