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. . . .
