Finished "Telzey Amberdon" by James H. Schmitz. This is the first of a four-book Baen collection of Schmitz's "Hub Federation" stories, and (mostly) features the adventures of the eponymous Telzey Amberdon, a teenage girl. Schmitz is an SF author who was enormously popular in the 1960s and 70s, but almost unknown today, which is a great shame. A very good read.
I originally bought this in April 2000; this is a part of my "read my old Baen ebooks" project.
On next to "Hope Reborn", the first book in the "General" series by S.M. Stirling and David Drake. On a small planet, 1000 years after the collapse of an interstellar civilisation, an ancient sentient battle computer seeks the help of a young man, Raj Whitehall, to unite the planet and rebuild civilisation.
