Book: Marque and Reprisal
Author: Elizabeth Moon
Year published: 2005
Review: This is the second book in the Vatta's War series (the first is Trading in Danger (link goes to my review). At the start of Marques and Reprisal most of Ky Vatta's family has been killed. Most of their fleet is destroyed. It seems most of the universe is out to get her and them. That might stop an ordinary human, but it isn't going to stop Ky Vatta! Or it might make an ordinary person consider another line of work. Not Ky Vatta!
She sets out to rebuild Vatta and punish her enemies. She'll use whatever it takes (including her own body as a weapon).
This is all kind of silly, but it's a very good silly. Moon is a very good writer and this book is a lot of fun and has lots of action. Moon manages to make all sorts of new technology seem believable in battle (that's not easy) and keeps the pages turning.
