Ghost Ship (Liaden Universe®) Review: Great 'Space Opera' in the Liaden Series, featuring the character 'Theo Waitley' - This is one of the books that features 'Theo Waitley', set in the 'Liaden Universe', which are in order: 'Fledgling', 'Saltation', 'Ghost Ship' and 'Dragon Ship'. I have loved most every book I've read in the Liaden world, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, but the ones that feature Theo Waitley are my favorites. Apparently, Theo Waitley was originally featured in an online live journal and her development encouraged by avid fans. Perhaps this is why she seems such a very real character to me? Whatever, I sure hope they write more books with her in it! I've read a Lot of Science Fiction and Fantasy and rate this writing duo at the top of my list of writers. I believe these books are best described as 'Space Operas', combining a mix of drama, action, mystery and romance in futuristic fantasy worlds, including people from our 'Terran' world. Lee and Miller's writing is dynamic and emotive, with incredibly well designed societies and characters. An added benefit of reading Lee & Miller's writing is you can join their 'Korval' clan (a clan featured in the books) for real in Facebook, and actually speak to the writers. Lee & Miller have been cultivating close association with their readers since the 80's, which I find very special though I came late to knowing their writing and their books. They of-course also have a web-site, and you can look the Liaden Universe up on Wikipedia to decide which order is best for you to read their books. I personally started with Fledgling, and went back to read other books and fill in gaps, and didn't feel like I was completely lost. I love their Liaden Universe series, and highly recommend these books! Review: thrilling context, struggles I can relate to - This book includes -- among a LOT of other really cool stuff -- both the excitement of the universe the authors have created and perpetuated, and also an understanding of what it takes to get through the problems which the characters confront. Those problems, under the intriguing skin of the exotic context, explore ways to deal with issues most of us confront, and ways to deal with them pretty successfully, at that. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,505,454 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5,241 in Space Operas #13,491 in Science Fiction Adventures #60,706 in American Literature (Books) | | Book 14 of 28 | Liaden Universe® | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (897) | | Dimensions | 4.19 x 1.2 x 6.75 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1451637926 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1451637922 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 480 pages | | Publication date | July 31, 2012 | | Publisher | Baen | ## Images ![Ghost Ship (Liaden Universe®) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81I7wlAsLKL.jpg) ![Ghost Ship (Liaden Universe®) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41aNrm2U2SL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 'Space Opera' in the Liaden Series, featuring the character 'Theo Waitley' *by S***I on November 12, 2014* This is one of the books that features 'Theo Waitley', set in the 'Liaden Universe', which are in order: 'Fledgling', 'Saltation', 'Ghost Ship' and 'Dragon Ship'.

Those problems, under the intriguing skin of the exotic context, explore ways to deal with issues most of us confront, and ways to deal with them pretty successfully, at that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another very good Liaden book *by M***N on August 4, 2011* The long-awaited book-length continuation to the original Liaden stories has finally arrived. And it's a good one. At this point I have to caution new readers -- you will be hopelessly lost. What you need to do is go back and start with Agent Of Change, then read all the dozen or so other books in this series, because this book builds upon all of them. Perhaps the best thing about this book is that we once again see Korval from the point of view of those outside the clan (especially Theo), and this allows us new insights. We're so used to thinking of Korval as the good guys that it is a bit jarring to see sympathetic characters treating Korval with cautious concern. The truth is that Korval is quite a powerful ally, but certainly not a safe one! In fact, that's a running theme in the book (and all the Theo-centric books). Safety is one thing to value, but it comes at a cost. Repeatedly, characters are forced to choose between safety and the opportunity for growth. The book clearly sides with growth. Characters are also forced to choose between passive defensive and active offense against their enemies, and again the book sides with the active. "Take a risk and maybe gain the reward or maybe lose quickly, but fail to take a risk and surely lose slowly" is what it seems to be saying. It's readable and exciting, a fun book. My biggest quibble is that I had hoped for a new opponent. Instead, we mainly get the Department Of Interior yet again. This part of it starts to feel like a rehash. And I'm tired of the Uncle and Dulsey. After a while the continued lack of explanation for them stops seeming mysterious and exotic and starts seeming annoying. The same is true of the Old Tech, although the authors are finally starting to reveal a few things about the Old Tech which allows it to remain more on the interesting side of the ledger. It was refreshing not to have any magical cats. All-in-all, a fine book but maybe not quite as good as the previous best examples in the series. There is a little too much forced rebalancing needed to bring the previous "Agent Of Change saga" stories into harmony with the new "Old Tech" storyline. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/14403642-ghost-ship-liaden-universe](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/14403642-ghost-ship-liaden-universe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
