A writer is not underrated if they are mentioned frequently and positively.

Brokedown Palace isn't really a Vlad Taltos novel. Or rather, it's a Vlad Taltos novel in the same way that Trader To The Stars is a Dominic Flandry novel.

It is a standalone novel that will have a few easter eggs for people who have read the Vlad books, but Vlad certainly doesn't appear in it.

And hell, there's a lot more inside stuff for Deadheads anyway.

It's also a reprint--it was first published 20 years ago. (Wow. I bought that new--I've been a Brust fan for over 20 years. If that makes me feel old, imagine how it must make Steve feel.)
