TRADING IN DANGER is the first volume in the Vatta's War series. Ky Vatta is a highly promising military cadet with a great future ahead of her, until an apparently insignificant act of kindness makes her the focus of the Academy's wrath. She is forced to resign, her dreams shattered. For the child of a rich trading family, this should mean disgrace on a grand scale. And yet, to her surprise, Ky is offered the captaincy of a ship headed for scrap with its final cargo. Her orders are absolutely clear, but Ky quickly sees potential profit in altering the parameters of the journey. Because, whatever the risks, it's in her blood to trade - even if the currency is extreme danger.

I wanted to like Vatta's War as much as I did The Serrano Legacy, but this one nearly lost me at some points. Maybe it's intended for a young adult audience? Considering the age of the main character, that may be the case. Still, I always enjoy Moon's writing style, and she creates great universes. Definitely worth a read.
