Fiction. Science Fiction. HTML:“An utterly satisfying adventure . . . In Kylara Vatta, Moon has created another tough and complex heroine.”—Scifi
Though the exciting military career she hoped for never materialized, Ky Vatta still sees plenty of combat. An unknown adversary has launched a full-throttle offensive against Vatta Transport Ltd., Ky’s father’s interstellar shipping empire—killing most of Ky’s family. Fighting for her very survival, Ky is determined to avenge her family’s deaths. Teaming up with a band of stranded mercenaries, her black-sheep cousin Stella, and Stella’s roguish ex-lover, Ky struggles to penetrate the tangled web of political intrigue that surrounds the attacks. Amid suspicion and deception, she is prepared to take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that Vatta stays in business. What she’s not prepared for is the shocking truth behind the terror— and a confrontation with murderous treachery. . . .
Praise for Marque and Reprisal
“The intrigue-filled plot lends a marque of distinction.”Entertainment Weekly
“Excellent plotting and characters support the utterly realistic action sequences: swift, jolting, [and] merciless.”Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A gripping, action-packed book.”Omaha World-Herald.

This is shaping up to be a great series. I'm really liking both Ky and Stella, and I like that both books so far start with one plan, and turn about to go a different direction by the end. If every book does that it may set up a sort of reverse-predictability, where it becomes too obvious they won't be doing certain things right from the start, but for now I'm very happy with them. ( )

I am a big fan of fantasy and science fiction novels especially if they are long and have several books in the series. I really enjoy a series of books that I can immerse myself in and I first picked up an Elizabeth Moon novel because it was long and part of a multi-novel series. I continue to read her books because I find them engrossing and highly enjoyable. ( )

Ky Vatta's survived her first encounter with a hostile universe and thinks she's cut out for life as a trader after all but back home on Slotter Key, dark forces are at work that will see Vatta Enterprises almost destroyed and Slotter Key cut off from the rest of the universe. With the future of her family dependant on Kyla and her supposedly no-good cousin Stella, those people hostile to Vatta thought they would have an easy time implementing their nefarious plans, but Ky and Stella have their own ideas, and they have no intention of letting Vatta go down the drainpipe of history's failures.

This book mainly deals with the initial effects of the attack on Vatta and Ky's realisation that Stella isn't as silly as her reputation ( )

After the delightful discovery of this series with the first book, Trading in Danger, I did not wait too long to read the second volume in Elizabeth Moon's Vatta's War, because my curiosity about the main character's continuing journey needed to be satisfied. Sadly, Marque and Reprisal proved to be something of a disappointment, or maybe the victim of excessive expectations, because it did not meet the standards of its predecessor.

In the aftermath of the adventures in book 1, Kylara Vatta does not have time to enjoy her new-found independence [...]
