Wonderful book! A direct sequel to Scout's Progress that fills in the story between the end of that novel and what we know eventually happens from having read the original Liaden trilogy of Agent of Change, Conflict of Honors, Carpe Diem. I couldn't put it down and was very very happy to finally find out how exactly things got from here to there.
The only mildly annoying thing was that the little tidbits at the beginnings of the chapters (quotes from the Code or various documents) were almost entirely the same bits at the beginnings of the chapters in Scout's Progress. That might not have been as obvious or irritating if I hadn't read them on back to back nights.
