After nearly a decade away, Nebula Award-winning author Elizabeth Moon
makes a triumphant return to science fiction with this installment in a
thrilling new series featuring the daring hero of her acclaimed Vatta's
War sequence.
Summoned to the home planet of her family's business empire, space-fleet
commander Kylara Vatta is told to expect a hero's welcome. But instead
she is thrown into danger unlike any other she has faced and finds
herself isolated, unable to communicate with the outside world,
commanding a motley group of unfamiliar troops, and struggling day by
day to survive in a deadly environment with sabotaged gear. Only her
undeniable talent for command can give her ragtag band a fighting
chance.
Yet even as Ky leads her team from one crisis to another, her family and
friends refuse to give up hope, endeavoring to mount a rescue from
halfway around the planet--a task that is complicated as Ky and her
supporters find secrets others will kill to protect: a conspiracy
infecting both government and military that threatens not only her own
group's survival but her entire home planet.
