Engaging the Enemy

Elizabeth Moon
Book 3 of Vatta's War series

Now with a couple of ships, Ky Vatta begins to develop plans to rid the galaxy of the pirate horde that plagues her family and her business. But she is still a trader, so these plans evolve while traveling to different planets to make some money. At one point, she is at Cascadia when another Vatta transport ship arrives, and challenges her identity. There is bad history between Captain Fuhrman and Ky, and this time it leads to a local trial. I love that the distinguishing cultural characteristic of the Cascadians is politeness. So distinguishing that rudeness is a death penalty offense. Who would have thought... After all the conflict, Ky leaves Cascadia with 3 ships under her control, and a plan for reviving the company and stopping the pirates. Oh, and the Bissonet system has just been taken over by the pirates.
