This exactly. Mission doesn't stand alone well enough to be a novella. Add Mira's Last Dance, and then it works; Mira's Last Dance has some unresolved threads at the end, but I didn't feel like I was missing the last part of the story.
I've been buying the print versions of the Penric books from Subterranean Press, but this one I skipped because it doesn't stand on its own. Maybe someday someone will release a 3-in-1 print volume of Mission, Mira's Last Dance, and Prisoner of Limnos, and then I'll shell out the money.
