The Better Part of Valor

The second book in Tanya Huff's action-packed military sci-fi adventure Confederation series

Never tell a two-star general what you really think of him....

So after she'd saved the mission to bring the Silviss into the Confederationinstead of losing them and their world to the enemy known only as the Othersshe let the general know exactly how she felt.

She was commandeered to protect a scientific expedition to a newly discovered and seemingly derelict spaceship of truly epic proportions. And Confederation politics had saddled her with a commanding officer who might prove more of a menace to the mission's success than anything they encountered.
