A review by ladyofways
Merchanter's Luck by C.J. Cherryh

5.0

This book is good; really good. A very classic, tightly-written sf adventure, with plenty of character drama and a wonderfully human future. It suffers a little (of course) from a modern point of view, having been written in the early 80s, but the story shines through and I'm looking forward to reading more of Cherryh's works set in this world!

Also, I honestly don't think you need to read Downbelow Station before reading this one. There are some names and characters thrown around as references (Konstantin cargo...) but listen to the Signy Mallory song and you're pretty much good.
