Review by: Jenny Scott-Thompson on Oct. 06, 2012 :
Balance of Trade has been expanded into a separate novel later, which is better than the original short story. But the second story in this book is still well worth reading if you're interested in politics of Liad and Daav being smart even when he's young.
