From the ocean .... request from the authors

[kinzel]

Hi guys ...
we're here at the ocean and ... brainstorms have struck. One of these brainstorms needs to be done before Denvention so we can put it in gear there.

So we're in need of favorite sayings/one liners/ and/or short quotes... pithy things if you will, from your favorite Liaden books. Please feel free to list them here, along with book and chapter... if you happen to have an Ace copy handy, we could even use page numbers. If this is from a short story or novella not in one of the Ace books, just let us know what chapbook, magazine, or anthology you're quoting from ....

This is not exactly secret, but we're not going to tell you yet how we'll use these.

No prizes except the joy of sharing and the fun of the final use.

Friends of Liad, rev up your searches!

Ooops ... we're writing today from Oceanside Computer Sales and Service ...

My first favorite quote is from AoC, where Val Con says, "I think you might call me a spy", during his first waking moments with Miri.

Another fine moment is when Sheather is gazing at Angela Lizardi's front door in Plan B.

Edger's contemplation of the activity in Merc Hall on Lufkit as if it were a work of art brought into being by Val Con's activities made me laugh out loud the first time I read it. I also enjoy the interaction between Shan and Lute in Weapons Hall.

The interaction with Pod 77 gives me the same kind of thrill as hearing Captain Kirk going through the self-destruct routine in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" (Star Trek: The Original Series)

From Agent of Change:

Miri: Did I tell you about the time I needed to roll five sevens in a row to stay out of trouble?
Val Con? Did you?
Miri: no. Rolled four
Val Vo: and then?
Miri: and then I had some trouble

Can't swear to exact words but that's the gist- always loved that and wondered what the trouble was!
