Having read 2 sequels to this book prior to reading "The Star King" set me up for disappointment. Character development left something to be desired. The best aspect of this book was how salt was the interplanetary currency! Also that independent traders, rather than government representatives and formal treaties, did more for everybody. The premise is too idealistic. People capable of interstellar travel would probably value nontangibles, would have mastered cloning as a technique of reproduction. Still, a fun escapist read; 3 stars.
