Another quick re-read, Walter Jon Williams' Drake Maijstral trilogy: The Crown Jewels, House of Shards, and Rock of Ages. These are sf caper novels, whose setup I briefly described in my review of House of Shards. I still like that book the best, possibly because I read it first. On the other hand, I don't find the first book's climax very interesting, and the third book's treatment of gender makes me a little twitchy. Despite that, however, the series served admirably as light fast re-reading on a cranky weekend.
These were also collected in a SFBC omnibus, Ten Points for Style.
