An interesting Space-Opera. 
 Naval cadet Kylara Vatta (Ky) has just been labeled as the newest Black Sheep of the interstellar trading Vatta family. Kicked out of the naval academy she's send out with near derelict spaceship to be scrapped at the end of her last voyage. Out of the way and far from the scandal she unwittingly cased, she needs to keep herself standing. Not an easy task as one of the youngest captains in the family fleet, amidst an far more experienced crew, and all in the name of Trade and Profit. 
 Till opportunity comes knocking and a lucrative cargo haul might just bring enough funds to save her ship from the scrapyard. 
 This is definitely not your regular Space-Opera. Though this book might reluctantly be labeled as military Sci-fy, this is very much a book about traders and merchants. Profit is everything even in the most dire situations. Ky herself is a interesting and quite realistic character and one i will remember for some time. Studded with a whole crew of interested support characters this book never has a dull moment. Even in the langhout passages. The story is well paced and concludes with a satisfying ending. 
 A definite book tor recommend to anyone interested in Sci-fy of Space-Operas
