by Tim Pratt. It's the third in the Axiom series. I am really enjoying them.

the first two are The Wrong Stars and The Dreaming Stars.

Several centuries from now humans have come in contact with an alien species, called the Liars because frankly, they never tell the truth if they can possibly help it. Plus, there are many, many different varieties of Liars, some of whom happily work with humans, others of whom do not. Then another alien race is discovered, the Axiom, and they're bent of conquering the galaxy, possibly the entire Universe and appear to have the technology to do so. Lots of adventures ensue.
