Affiliations, Aliens, and Other Profitable Pursuits by Lyn Gala
4.0
The main aim of this instalment seems to be to repair humanity's reputation a little, after our protagonist Liam had to be rescued & protected from his own people in the first 2 books. Maybe it's just me being a bit of a misanthrope but I don't think their case is very convincing, especially since they're still trying to mess with Liam as it's being made. Leave the poor boy alone! (& by boy I mean 40 year-old man, not that you'd know it from the cover art)
Regardless, I could read about these guys negotiating trades, chatting about random things, and soothing each other's anxieties all day long. There's something endlessly satisfying about the way they make themselves understood across cultural barriers, breaking things down into simple truths and rearranging them until they fit.
