The third volume in the Vatta's War series - an explosive military SF series from the Nebula Award winning author of The Speed of Dark.

Kylara Vatta has had to leave a glowing future as a military cadet far behind, and now carves out a living in the brutal cut-throat world of interplanetary trading. Her chosen way of life is tough but rewarding and she thinks she is more than capable of holding her own.

That is, until a threat emerges that nobody could have forseen . . .
