Agent of Change
Sharon Lee & Steve Miller · 10 novels · 1988–2020
Agent of Change opens Sharon Lee and Steve Miller's long-running Liaden Universe sequence with Val Con yos'Phelium, a covert agent of the Liaden clans, and Miri Robertson, a mercenary soldier, forced into an uneasy alliance while fleeing assassins across space. It's the foundational quartet of a much larger set of novels blending space opera, clan intrigue, and a slow-burn partnership between its two leads. The series belongs to the wider Liaden universe, a shared future history of trade clans, mercenary companies, and human/alien contact spanning dozens of books.
