Elizabeth Moon's thrilling Vatta's War series, featuring the
no-holds-barred space-faring heroine Kylara Vatta, has secured her
reputation as a master of first-rate military science fiction. Now
Commander Vatta is back-locked and loaded and ready to win the
fight against the marauding forces of ruthless space pirate Gammis
Turek.
For Ky, it's not just about liberating the star systems subjugated
by Turek and defending the rest of the galaxy's freedom. There's
also a score to be settled and payback to be meted out for the
obliteration of the Vatta Transport dynasty . . . and the slaughter
of Ky's family. But the enemy have their own escalation efforts
under way-including the placement of covert agents among the allies
with whom Ky and the surviving Vattas are collaborating in the war
effort. And when a spy ring linked to a wealthy businessman is
exposed, a cracked pirate code reveals a galaxywide conspiracy
fueling the proliferation of Turek's warship fleet.
Matching the invaders' swelling firepower will mean marshaling an
armada of battle-ready ships for Ky to lead into combat. But a
violent skirmish leaves Ky reeling-and presumed dead by her
enemies. Now, as Turek readies an all-out attack on the Nexus
system-a key conquest that could seal the rest of the galaxy's
doom-Ky must rally to the challenge, draw upon every last reserve
of her strategic skills, and reach deep if she is to tear from the
ashes of tragedy her most decisive victory.
