Finder by Suzanne Palmer, 392 pages
Loner Fergus Ferguson calls himself a "finder," but for all intents and purposes is a a repo man, thief, and general con man for hire. A mission to reclaim a stolen ship takes Fergus to a backwater outpost where power is split between five kingpins (one of whom stole the ship) and mysterious Asiig alien ships routinely pass by, striking fear into the hearts of all the people who live out there. Of course, this mission cannot go as planned, and soon Fergus finds himself wrapped up in the local politics and actually caring about the lives of others.
I first read this book back in early 2020, and reread it for Orcs & Aliens. My thoughts then still hold up now: it's a fun, funny, well-created space heist. Now, however, it's also the first in a series of 4 (so far), which means I have some catching up to do!
