This chapbook contains two tales from the Liaden Universe®: short story "Out of True," and novelette "The Rifle's First Wife."

"Out of True" is a first contact story that takes place around the time of Balance of Trade and Trade Secrets.

"The Rifle's First Wife" takes place soon after Korval's relocation to Surebleak, and explores the necessity for society to adjust to new realities, and a new culture.

Both stories were previously published in A Liaden Universe® Constellation, Volume 3, from Baen Books, August 2015.
