A rare book by Goddard that isn't part of her Nine Worlds series, this is a sweet little space opera novella (novelette?) about an interstellar courier travelling home to fulfil a promise to a childhood friend. It's clever, funny and romantic and features bonus space squid, and I liked it a lot. (It reminded me quite strongly of Bujold in lighter moods, so if you enjoy that, you'll probably enjoy this.)
