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?

Pest. :) No, I wanted to finish the last 25 pages of Trading first.
I expect I'll have finished Winterfair Gifts by bedtime though.

"Irresistible Forces" and if you're looking at the B&N in Burlington it's (mis)shelved with Romance, New Releases, Beverley (who happens to be the first bold-face listed author).

Back when you and I were at HDI at the same time, one of the books that showed up in the lending library corner was "the world's first SF romance." Mind you, this was years after the Pern stuff. Snort. Anyway, it was ghastly.

Thanks for the title & locator!

I can't believe how bugged I am by two-letter hyphenations that I see EVERYwhere now. LOL

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).
