Command Decision by Elizabeth Moon

With interstellar communications crippled by sabotage and piracy on the rise, Ky Vatta broadens her makeshift privateer squadron into a coordinated fighting force to protect convoys, seize strategic routes, and take the war to a powerful pirate coalition. As she forges risky alliances and navigates ambushes and misinformation, an undercover heir within the shattered ansible network and a formidable elder in her family battle conspirators on parallel fronts. Their intertwined efforts drive toward a decisive showdown that could restore safe trade and rebuild their fortunes—or shatter them permanently.
