Science Fiction
Kylara Vatta, risk-taking, rule-breaking, can-do heroine
of Trading in Danger, is back in business–the kind that’s
anything but usual–in the new military science fiction
adventure by ace action storyteller Elizabeth Moon. The exciting military career she hoped for never got off
the ground–but Ky Vatta ended up seeing plenty of combat
when she took the helm of one of the commercial transport
vessels in her family’s fleet . . . and steered it into a
full-blown war. Now the lessons she learned in that trial
by fire are about to pay off: because this time, the war
has come to her. To be exact, someone unknown has launched
a full-throttle offensive against Vatta Transport Ltd.,
Ky’s father’s interstellar shipping empire. In short
order, most of Ky’s family is killed, and subsequent
attacks sever vital lines of communication, leaving Ky
fighting, in every sense, to survive. Determined to identify the ruthless mystery enemy and
avenge her family’s name, Ky needs not only firepower but
information. And she gets both in spades–from the band of
stranded mercenaries she hooks up with, from her black-
sheep cousin, Stella, who’s been leading a secret life,
and from Stella’s roguish ex-lover, Rafe. Together they
struggle to penetrate the tangled web of political
intrigue that’s wreaking havoc within InterStellar
Communications, whose effective operation their own
livelihoods–and perhaps lives–depend on. But the infighting proves to be infectious, and it isn’t
long before Ky’s hired military muscle are turning their
suspicions on the enigmatic Rafe, whose wealth of
knowledge about ISC’s clashing factions and startling new
technologies has begun to make him smell like a rat . . .
or a mole. With swift, violent destruction a very real
possibility, the last thing Ky needs is a crew divided
against itself–and she’s prepared to take whatever
measures are necessary to ensure that Vatta stays in
business, as well as in one piece. What she’s not prepared for is the shocking truth behind
the terror– and a confrontation with murderous treachery
from a source as unexpected as it is unrelenting.
