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.
