Engaging the Enemy (link to purchase) is the third volume in the Vatta's war series. The first two were Trading in Danger and Marque and Reprisal (links go to my reviews).
Ky Vatta continues to be utterly amazing while irritating all sorts of people. In this one, she gets into fights with bureaucrats and with her family. Also, many Vatta family secrets are revealed and the start of a force to fight pirates is recounted. All this is good fun and Moon writes well and keeps the pages turning.
There's some interesting cultural differences across planets, including one where sexism has not died out and much depends on "honor", defined in ways that most 21st century Americans would find a bit odd.
