Title: Why bother
Product review: As a fan of Elizabeth Moon's Serrano series I looked forward to a new space adventure. However, I am also a fan of Bujold's Vorkosigan series and Trading in Danger's plot bears a suspicious resemblence to the plot in Warrior's Apprentice. See below.1) In both books the protagonist has been kicked out of the military.2) In both books the protagonist gets hold of an old merchant vessel.3) In Warrior's apprentice, the hero knowingly takes on a cargo of weapons which are being passed off as "agricultrual implements". In Trading in Danger its a load of tractors - both shipments are taken into a war zone.4) Both take on board some hard luck cases5) Both ships are boarded by mercenaries - to continue would be to spoil the plot of the better book - Warrior's Apprentice. Overall Trading in Danger seems to be a weak copy of an excellent book. So as I said, why bother with this one?
