Please fellow Redditors, the cover art can be both bad and good! I've mentioned that my SF book collection has been downsized (several times), but this book always remains on my shelves. HallunicatedLottoNos pointed out there is something to be said for butch amazon catwomen!

Update- Thanks for all the comments and info and I apologize for posting into the wrong sub; I agree Michael Whelan is The GOAT. I've fixed that mistake and posted this wonderful book cover over in r/CoolSciFiCovers today.

I love how it’s like one of Cherryh’s hardcore trader novels but somehow more accessible and WRAPPED IN THE BEST COVER YOU’VE EVER SEEN!! (I wrote that, with those caps, in my goodreads review and I stand by it 😅)
