Merchanter's Luck by C. J. Cherryh $3 DAW Books (1986) A highly rated story and a wonderfully rich portrait of a traumatized captain doing their best to survive, and of the crew they finds themself working with. To go further, they are a survivor. The captain managed to escape the massacre of his family and has run the family spaceship, first with his brother, then without, for a very long time. The ship’s control system speaks in his brother's voice, a comforting reminder of the loving connections he used to have. He has lived at the edge of the law and at the margins of society for his entire adult life and is longing to just have a chance to achieve a normal life. Detailed cover art by Barclay Shaw. .
