Quite a few of the stories seem to touch on the Liaden concept of Luck from Mar Tyn's discovery story Fortune's Favors to Preferred Seating which tells of the days when the small talents were exiled from Liad and taken to a planet deep in the Ambient.

Fans of the Liaden Universe will enjoy having all of these shorter works conveniently to hand in one collection.
