About this listen

After orchestrating a galaxy-wide failure of the communications network owned and maintained by the powerful ISC corporation, Gammis Turek and his marauders strike swiftly and without mercy. First they shatter Vatta Transport. Then they overrun entire star systems, growing stronger and bolder. No one is safe from the pirate fleet.

But while they continue to move forward with their diabolical plan, they have made two critical mistakes.Their first mistake was killing Kylara Vatta's family.Their second mistake was leaving her alive.

Now Kylara is going to make them pay. But with a "fleet" consisting of only three ships - including her flagship, the Vanguard, a souped-up merchant cruiser - Kylara needs allies, and fast. Because even though she possesses the same coveted communication technology as the enemy, she has nowhere near their numbers or firepower.

Meanwhile, as Kylara's cousin Stella tries to bring together the shattered pieces of the family trading empire, new treachery is unfolding at ISC headquarters, where undercover agent Rafael Dunbarger, estranged son of the corporation's CEO, is trying to learn why the damaged network is not being repaired. What he discovers will send shock waves across the galaxy and crashing into Kylara's newly christened Space Defense Force at the worst possible moment.

Critic reviews

"Strong female leads, terrific action and complications aplenty: should grab existing fans and win new converts." ( Kirkus)

Another great story in the Vatta Universe.

Elizabeth Moon has produced another great, realistic and wholly believable story based on the continuing adventures of Ky Vatta. The author, who served in the US military, paints a vivid, detailed and colourful story where the space-lanes are not as safe as they once were. Through the continuing adventures of the Vatta family, we explore the known univers, discovering new technologies that help (and hinder) Ky's mission to rid the universe of the evil pirate Torrek and his allies. The narrator, Cynthia Holloway, performs wonderfully, reallisticly expressing the drama involved in the story. The narration never takes anything from the story and help the listener become fully immersed in the action. Anyone who hasn't heard of the Vatta series is in for a wild ride with Command Decision. A must for all Elizabeth Moon fans!
