How did my name get attached to this title? I had nothing to do with this book. Please, for the author's sake and mine, correct this glitch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Please check your posted reviews for this book., Sep 24 2002

I'm not sure the reviews listed for this book go with this book. What about C.J. Cherryh?! It has been awhile since I read it, but isn't this book part of her downbelow station universe? Please check this out. Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwrenching novel, Jun 1 2001

By	Birgitte Nyland Sciarretta (Sandnes, Norway) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Era Or Rapprochement Merchanters Luck (Paperback)

This book screams loneliness at you. The story is about a young boy who's struggling to come to terms with the loss of his family. He's the only survivor of his family since they were killed in a pirate attack on the ship that is their home and his brother later in an EVA accident. His only company is his brother's recorded instructions on how to fly the ship.

His journey to learn to trust other people and to come to terms with the tragedy in his life is truly heartwrenching and will leave you with a melancholy ache and a good feeling of hope despite it all. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard sf with characters you can care about!
What a gem of a book MERCHANTER'S LUCK turned out to be. It's short and it packs an emotional punch. At its heart, the book is about trust. Read more
