OK, I'll throw one up. A non-series book in the Liaden Universe. I nominate:
Balance of Trade by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller.

It's still part of the Liaden Universe and still has a place in it and that place is not at the front. So nominating a book in the middle of a series is not a good idea unless the book club has already read all the books that come before.
When someone says that a book in a series is standalone, it's not. It never is and never will be. I've fallen for that too many times. Never again. Sorry.
