I voted for 2 but I meant #3. Oops.

I don't think Local Custom should be the intro to the series, because unless you know something about the Liaden culture, Er Thom's actions are bewildering.

And CoH is one of my favorites. I _like_ merchant ships.

Actually, LC and SP were my intro to the series, and they worked just fine for me. The only real difficulty is that when you get to the main arc, all these characters you've grown quite fond of are either dead or MIA. That was traumatic.

I started with Local Custom because I knew it was chronologically first, and it was fine.

If you're starting with the main sequence, I'd start with CoH because it stands alone so well, and it's so wonderful.

I agree with the fact that Liaden actions are bewildering. For some reason I just accepted these things without worrying over them too much. A friend of mine was very bogged down at first by all the modes of greeting.

I think some people will just get swamped by the Liadens way of doing things
