It was all over now, all those years of service, all her family's
traditions; from now on, she was Heris Serrano, captain of a yacht,
and she would make the best of it.
And they wouldn't know what hit them.
WARNING!
This is a book in a series, and reading this review without having
read the previous ones might spoil some of your fun.
The story:
Heris Serrano has spent her whole life with the RSS, Regular Space
Service. Now, after the resignation they forced upon her, she has
gotten a job, as a captain of a luxury yacht.
But when the yacht's owner invites her to a fox-hunt, she discovers that some people prefer to hunt more dangerous animals.
Thoughts about the book:
Again, Moon shows her skills with military fantasy/science fiction.
In this story, there are several strong characters; Heris Serrano and
her employer Lady Cecelia are two of them. The book is not something
I would recommend if you want something deep, philosophical and
serious, but if you want a good science fiction story, with action,
good character descriptions and a credible story, this might be it.
