Science Fiction
Kylara Vatta is the only daughter in a family full of sons,
and her father’s only child to buck tradition by choosing a
military career instead of joining the family business. For
Ky, it’s no contest: Even running the prestigious Vatta
Transport Ltd. shipping concern can’t hold a candle to
shipping out as an officer aboard an interstellar cruiser.
It’s adventure, not commerce, that stirs her soul. And
despite her family’s misgivings, there can be no doubt that
a Vatta in the service will prove a valuable asset. But
with a single error in judgment, it all comes crumbling
down. Expelled from the Academy in disgrace–and returning home to
her humiliated family, a storm of high-profile media
coverage, and the gaping void of her own future–Ky is ready
to face the inevitable onslaught of anger, disappointment,
even pity. But soon after opportunity’s door slams shut, Ky
finds herself with a ticket to ride– and a shot at
redemption–as captain of a Vatta Transport ship. It’s a simple assignment: escorting one of the Vatta
fleet’s oldest ships on its final voyage . . . to the
scrapyard. But keeping it simple has never been Ky’s style.
And even though her father has provided a crew of seasoned
veterans to baby-sit the fledgling captain on her maiden
milk run, they can’t stop Ky from turning the routine
mission into a risky venture–in the name of turning a
profit for Vatta Transport, of course. By snapping up a lucrative delivery contract defaulted on
by a rival company, and using part of the proceeds to
upgrade her condemned vehicle, Ky aims to prove she’s got
more going for her than just her family’s famous name. But
business will soon have to take a backseat to bravery, when
Ky’s change of plans sails her and the crew straight into
the middle of a colonial war. For all her commercial savvy,
it’s her military training and born-soldier’s instincts
that Ky will need to call on in the face of deadly combat,
dangerous mercenaries, and violent mutiny. . . .
