Book Discussion - Merchanter's Luck

For our July meeting we shall be discussing Merchanter's Luck by C.J. Cherryh.

(This book is free on Audible as part of the compendium "Alliance Space," and can be found readily in several other formats, as several group members have pointed out!)

The fateful meeting between the owner of a tramp star-freighter that flies the Union planets under false papers and fake names and a proud but junior member of a powerful starship-owning family leads to a record-breaking race to Downbelow Station--and a terrifying showdown at a deadly destination off the cosmic charts.

The writer of more than 80 books since the mid-1970s, Cherryh is known for her world building, supported by vast research on history, language, psychology, and archaeology.
