Fleet officer Heris Serrano came from a family of Fleet officers, so when a lying superior forced her to resign, life lost all meaning. To pay the bills, she became "Captain" of a rich old lady's interstellar luxury yacht, adding insult to injury. But Cecelia, the rich old lady, had more brains than most admirals Heris had known, and before it was all over, Heris would have a chance to rejoin her beloved space navy -- if she could manage to stop an invading armada.

This is an omnibus of the first three books of the Serrano Legacy: "Hunting Party", "Sporting Chance" and "Winning Colours".
High Space-Opera, the protagonist is a disgraced ex-Regular fleet captain who takes a civilian job with a horse-mad aristocrat. They get more than they bargain for when they run into conspiracy within the Navy that threatens to destroy the kingdom!
Gripping, fast-paced action.

Really disapointed to find it was a compendium of the first of the Heris Serrano series. After reading the first one I had to get the rest, so I was hoping for a new story. Having three in one volumn is a real plus for a new reader.
Real adventure Si-fi but not too technical. Characters you grow fond of and lots of evil villains to make their lives more interesting. You can find out more by reading the reviews of Hunting Party, Sporting Chance and Winning Colours.

Previously I'd only read Moon's fantasy series with Paksenarrion. I thought I would give her SciFi side a shot and was greatly pleased by her inventiveness and the characters she has portrayed. While some SciFi adventures focus strongly on technical details and philosophy, Moon gives me adventure with laughs and suspense.
Heris Serrano was an officer from a family with a long tradition of distinguished service in the Fleet. So when a treacherous superior set her up and forced her to resign her commission, she thought life had lost all meaning. But she still needed to pay the bills - which was how she ended up as "Captain" of a rich old lady's interstellar luxury yatch, "The Sweet Delight", which just added insult to injury - or so she thought.
Turns out that the old and extremely wealthy lady (Cecilia) wasn't the hopeless case Heris had thought. In fact she has more brains than most admirals Heris had known, and when the pair ran into a secret society whose idea of "fun" was hunting and killing people, they quickly put a stop to that blood sport. But that was only the beginning. The heir to the throne himself was involved with the society, and Heris soon uncovered a plot against the royal family and a consipiracy within the Fleet itself. And whoever controlled the Fleet controlled the galaxy.
Before it was all over, Heris would be given a chance to rejoin her beloved space nave - if she could manage to stop an invading armada with only one destroyer, two PT boats, one ore scow, and and old lady's space yatch.
