I don't have much to add that others haven't said about this series. It's good, old-fashioned space opera, but it also has strong characterization and lots of interesting twists and turns. Very progressive and interesting.
Well worth reading for fans of Andre Norton, Heinlein, etc.

What can I say, this series is like literary crack.
05/05/2018: Starting this again. Second read through is better than the first. Addicting, like cloud.
02/27/2020: Reading again.
03/23/2022: Read again.

This novel takes place within the authors' Liaden Universe. It is a direct sequel to "Agent of Change," as well as featuring characters from "Conflict of Honors." The characters and warmth of the story are very appealing to me. The good guys get into difficulty, and then other good people help them out. There are also generous doses of action, romance, and humor. It is not innovative science fiction (though it does have excellent turtle aliens). It is not high literature. Better than either of those, it is a book that made me happy as I read it.

Trivelig, gammel sci-fi til å ha på øret. Språk som virkemiddel er viktig i denne Liaden- serien, og det liker jeg! Samtidig som historiene (en svær serie dette, der bøkene nødvendigvis ikke henger helt sammen) ikke flyter over av teknologi. ALt til sin tid. Denne serien fra Sharon Lee og Steve Miller er veldig lett tilgjengelig.

This was good readable fun, but I just don't like Val & Miri as much as I like Shan & Patricia! It does a good job of moving the over-arching story along, and there are some funny moments and some nice bits of character development, but it's not one of my favourites in the series so far.

Ah, so this is a sequel for both of the previous two books. I enjoyed the way the stories overlapped.

These seem to be getting more intricate and action focused. Will read more.

This had such a sad ending! Aw!
I did enjoy this book a lot, but I think it suffers from focusing on too many characters. We have Val Con and Miri adjusting to life on a new planet, an agent that's hunting them, Shan and Priscilla, Nova, Anthora, and even a bit of Pat Rin. There's a lot of setup for later installments happening that can be a bit overwhelming.
That being said, I still had a good time. I love the descriptions, the dialogue, and getting to hang out with some of my favorite characters.
I do recommend this one, but honestly do yourself a favor and read Agent of Change and Conflict of Honors first. Otherwise you'll be really lost.

Enjoyable follow-up to [b:Agent of Change|288771|Agent of Change (Liaden Universe, #9)|Sharon Lee|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1309212303s/288771.jpg|280180], but there were some threads to the action which I felt were not very well explained.
