What novels feature Rogue Traders as major characters? Any that are centered around a Rogue Trader?
So far, the only novels that I know about with Rogue Traders in them are Priests of Mars and its sequels.

The FFG RPG game book also obviously had a lot on rogue traders

Nonsense. The Battle Company box is perfect for filling out your ranks of aspect warriors with a large contingent from the Screaming Baldies shrine.

The second Calpurnia novel is set around a rogue trader fleet, but the trader is not the central character

Terrifying Rhinox Rider

Andy Hoare wrote at least three books about a rogue trader. Rogue Star I think is the name of one of them; the writing didn't interest me enough to even look them up for you. The third one is sold as being about White Scars, but it is apparently a follow up about the same family.
Farseer by William King is actually about a Rogue Trader.
It seems like the difference is that Rogue Star is about what a Rogue Trader TM is supposed to be, like, you just read a description of a rogue trader from a codex or the website but in novel form, and Farseer is just a story that happens to be about a rogue trader, so it is a lot more believable.

Indeed, the FFG RPG books are quite enjoyable reads. I also recommend them even if you're not going to use them for gaming!

Priests Of Mars/Lords Of Mars/Gods Of Mars features a rogue trader as a lead character, too.
In fact it might be the same one from Rogue Star.
