Balance of Trade by Sharon Lee, Steve Miller

5.0

Another strong entry in the Liaden series. This is one of my favorites so far, because I enjoyed the protagonist's struggles to understand and fit in as he tries to navigate the Liaden culture. There's some great humor, mixed with the usual politics and strong characters that I have come to expect from the authors.

This book would actually serve as a good place to start for people wondering where to start in the series, which is over 20 books long now, since it explains many of the elements that were fairly oblique in previous books. (One of the nice things about the Liaden books is that you don't REALLY have to read most of them in a particular order, since it's more of a UNIVERSE than a series, even though I keep calling it a series.)
