Book finished
4. Trading in Danger, by Elizabeth Moon.

A good yarn, somewhat diminished by the need of a good proofreader. Not only not Baen style (two-letter syllable hyphenation in particular) but actual typos.

One does wonder about Elizabeth Moon's background. Typical of Moon's characters, the heroine is not only military, like Moon, but comes from a prosperous and wide-reaching commercial trader family -- so is that autobiographical too?

Sorry--once you start reading professionally you spot the things that just slipped by before.... I know the feeling really well by now, though I still manage to read for fun (in my copious free time).
