Being a rich old lady's hyperlight chauffer seems boring, until Heris finds herself fighting for her life against smugglers. Review: ... a big fan of Space Operas-This Book was a good read with a strong female lead character - I'm a big fan of Space Operas-This Book was a good read with a strong female lead character, reminiscent of books by CJ Cherryh & other female authors.This story held my attention throughout & I recommend it. I have read a number of other books by Elizabeth Moon in the VATTA series, which I found to be well thought out & quite entertaining. I look forward to reading the remaining books in the Serrano series. Review: Not Space Opera but it is Enjoyable - This was my first book by Elizabeth Moon. As a fan of sweeping space opera and a person running short on the authors with which I am more familiar, I turned to this book looking for more. I did not find it but I was not disappointed. It does involve spaceships, nobility, military dynasties, scoundrels and the other stock items of space opera but they are not put together in operatic form. It made for a pleasant change. The heroine of the story is one Heris Serrano, late of the space navy. She comes from a long line of naval officers and a naval career is what she desired for her life. It went well for a while but then tragedy struck. Because of the actions of a venal admiral, she found herself disobeying orders. As a result, she faces a choice. She can resign for the good of the service and say nothing or she can stand trial with her entire crew. She chooses to protect her crew and winds up the captain of a rich lady's yacht. It is not a happy decision. She finds herself with a splendid yacht, and inept and corrupt crew, an employer who knows nothing about yachts and cares mostly for fox hunting and several bratty and aristocratic young people. She is taking them to a fox hunt on another planet. All is not as it seems, however. The kids find themselves being hunted and the yacht's owner turns out to have unexpected depths. A good measure of vengeance helps out as well. The story is well written and, if not the most exciting I have encountered, certainly well worth the effort of reading it. I look forward to reading more. ## Features - Author: Moon, Elizabeth. - Publisher: Baen - Pages: 384 - Publication Date: 1993-07-01 - Edition: Reissue - Binding: Mass Market Paperback - MSRP: 7.99 - ISBN13: 9780671721763 - ISBN: 0671721763 - Language: en - Store Location: Sci Fi - "Book cover image may be different than what appears on the actual book." ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,112,999 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12,040 in Space Operas #21,277 in Science Fiction Adventures | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 228 Reviews | ## Images ![Hunting Party - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ilu0A8YoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... a big fan of Space Operas-This Book was a good read with a strong female lead character *by H***S on May 15, 2016* I'm a big fan of Space Operas-This Book was a good read with a strong female lead character, reminiscent of books by CJ Cherryh & other female authors.This story held my attention throughout & I recommend it.
