Merchanter's Luck by C.J. Cherryh

4.0

While it doesn’t reach the highest heights of the other Cherryh books I’ve read, this is still a wonderfully rich portrait of a traumatized captain doing his best to survive, and of the crew he finds himself working with. I remain deeply impressed by Cherryh’s ability to immerse me fully in the world she’s created, and I always believe everything her characters do and say. She allows them to live and breathe and earn their moments, and again she never lets her reader get one inch ahead of where she’s taking the story.

I have tremendous respect for the serious ideas and themes with which she infuses her stories, and I’m so happy there are many more books of hers to read.
