The central story of her Alliance--Union universe, it was written so as to provide a backstory for _Merchanter's Luck_ which serves as an excellent entrée to that series.
I love the Alliance/Union books. Some of the best descriptions of extremely high velocity (significant fractions of light speed) and extremely long distance (measured in light minutes/hours) space battles I've come across. Highly recommended if hard SF is your thing but she does politics and character well too.
