Oops, had to take slight break from The Price of Salt because my pre-order for Degrees of Separation showed up on my Kindle.

Finished and gave it 5 stars. A worthy prequel to Block Party, but can be read without having read the free Block Party.
Spoiler:
A wonderful new addition to the stories of the Liaden Universe. Degrees of Separation is the prequel to the current Baen Free Library short story Block Party. Don Eyre was not wanted by his clan, so sent off to a far planet to become a baker. Where he meets Serana, a captain of the Guard. After Don Eyre's Delm calls him back to the service of the clan, Serana follows as bodyguard and lover. And where they need to survive Low Port, and the antagonism of that same delm.

A very worthy read that requires no prior knowledge of the Liaden Universe, or of Block Party. Recommended.
