About this ebook
A vast and hostile force is attacking prosperous trade centres, destroying their space fleets then moving on, leaving death and chaos in their wake. Admiral Ky Vatta's family was decimated by one such attack and Turek, the pirate force's leader, will not escape her vengeance.
Ky has a loyal taskforce, but the enemy have three times the ships and the firepower to match. She must offset these advantages with her knowledge of military strategy and her ace: superior ansible technology, facilitating fast and accurate in-space intelligence.
The alternative to victory is unthinkable - devastation of interplanetary trading networks on a galaxy-wide scale - and the end of a way of life.
'Rip-roaring action . . . This epic volume is a fine and fitting conclusion to Moon's grand space opera tour de force' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

At first i was left feeling a little disappointed that the first book finished too soon. After reading all 5 books in the series and not being able put them down, I can only say that when an author tugs all emotions out of me at various parts of the story, they have done their job well. A very very good read indead!

Well written, enticing and with enough detailed warfare and more than enough description of the difficulty of good leadership.
