Master Walk — Sharon Lee; Steve Miller

Pirates, politics, police, and plots! Meet William Drew Faro the 4th, a human from Khareton's TriGrace Academy, and Trikura Dai, a rock-chewing, space-faring Chenri who is definitely not of this world! Now imagine a star-spanning civilization where information is bought, sold, and bartered, where scary dimensional folds allow hyperflight between stars, and where a young Terran student information broker has been given the OK to "go farshloggin" - to take up the path that will allow him to "walk Osara" with the Chenri, the canniest info-brokers of them all. In Master Walk, award-winning science fiction authors Sharon Lee and Steve Miller bring a new YA universe to life. Introducing the Advocacy, a rough-and-tumble civilization that has a mix of sentient races a lot to learn.
