Bread Alone: Adventures in the Liaden Universe(R) Number 34 -- Steve Miller

<p>To survive, humans need air, water, a place to stand, a place to sleep, and sustenance. Bread is a good start for sustenance. <p/>Don Eyr and Serana were survivors who came to Low Port - it gave them air, water, a place to stand and a place to make bread. The place to sleep meant they needed a certain amount of safety and to get that they founded a bakery at the corner of Crakle and Toom, brought in others seeking to survive in the midst of the poverty and ignorance, and built a tiny bastion of a self-sufficient community dedicated to raising competent, alert children who understood decency.</p><p>Low Port toughs tried to break the bakery and a planet-shaking blast from the skies nearly did it in, but the bakery was hope, and people who have hope will fight to keep it.</p><p>This chapbook collects four stories about sustenance, all about the bakery, its people, and its influence. &#8243;Degrees of Separation,&#8243; &#8243;Fortune's Favors,&#8243; and "Block Party" are reprints. The novelette &#8243;Our Lady of Benevolence&#8243; appears here for the first time.</p><p></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Steve Miller, Sharon Lee<br><b>Publisher:</b> Pinbeam Books<br><b>Published:</b> 11/13/2021<br><b>Pages:</b> 266<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.69lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781948465205<p></p>
