Didn't like the narrator. Think I'll go back to paper for the rest of this series, assuming the narrator stays the same.

82. [Marque and Reprisal] - Elizabeth Moon - Vatta's War 2 - ROOT
Rating: Fun and couldn't putdownable.
'The whole trick in moving on a hull without safety lines, the instructor had said, is not to do it in the first place.' But of course Ky ended up doing just that.
Kylara Vata, thrown out of her planet's military academy, had just endured her first exposure to being a trading captain in her family's trading company. It hadn't gone that well, not entirely because of her, but it certainly had given her experience.
This time out, she's on an old tug of a ship, slow, old, desperately in need of an upgrade, when she learns that her family is being targeted and that Vatta ships across the known worlds are being targeted.
So, her new mission: the hell with trading. Survive.
So much fun. She's a hoot, her friends are as well, and she goes from one crisis to another barely holding it together. And, secretly, loving every dangerous moment of this life.

A little slower than the first book, but still a lot of fun to read.
