    <body><![CDATA[<em>The Better Part of Valor</em> is the second book in Tanya Huff's foray into military SF, the Confederation series. I've been liking these well enough; the heroine, Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr, is tough and fun and rather aptly described in editorial reviews of this novel as akin to Ripley in the <em>Alien</em> flic...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40653006">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An excellent read.  It's one of those that I wish would go on and on.  I'll have to look harder for the rest of the series.  Droll humor is my favorite, and this character driven sci-fi adventure has it in spades.  It's laugh-out-loud funny with lots of other spices to make it tasty.
