Excellent Sci Fi read.  This book reads like Heinlein at his best. Complete with a hero, John Peters from W. Va and his buddy Kevin Todd, who are Navy enlisted men who are given temporary duty on an alien spaceship which drops in out of nowhere.  The aliens are traders and John quickly distinguishes himself as an able  and intelligent man who the aliens favor over the high ranking politicians and carrier air group who are also stationed aboard the trading ship.
