Chanur's Legacy by C.J. Cherryh

5.0

This is the final book in the Compact Space series. "If you have a smart opponent, make him think himself to death, " is the advice Hilfy Chanur, merchant captain, was given by her illustrious aunt. Though she is tired of living in her aunt's shadow, she is beginning to understand her.

This is old-fashioned, multi-species SF, filled with both action and intrigue. I only wish there were more books featuring this universe!
