The Better Part of Valor by Tanya Huff

4.0

This is one of those locked-spaceship mysteries where Our Heroes end up In Mysterious Peril on a Spaceship Of Mysterious Origin. Thankfully unlike Rendezvous with Rama (1) it is only one book and (2) it does not descend into some weird, weird reproductive dynamics as the human race attempts to survive with only three people in the gene pool. The secondary characters are great, as always, although Ryder frankly felt somewhat superfluous - the “(human) rogue with a heart of gold” is such a generic character that I never got why we should care about him.
