Historia
Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life...he two things his neglectful mother couldn’t or wouldn’t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he’d finally found the structure he’d always wanted so desperately. But life in the RMN isn’t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction.

Historia
People love easily. Look at most of your relatives or coworkers. How lovable are they? Really? Yet most have mates and children. The vast majority are still invited to family gatherings and their relatives will speak to them. Many have pets to which they are devoted. Some even call them their fur-babies. Is your dog or cat or parakeet property or family? Not in law but in your heart? Can a pet really love you back? Or is it a different affection? Are you not kind to those who feed and shelter you? But what if your dog could talk back? Would your cat speak to you kindly?

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Seventy years ago, the interstellar supercarrier Ark Royal was the pride of the Royal Navy. But now, her weapons are outdated and her solid-state armour nothing more than a burden on her colossal hull. She floats in permanent orbit near Earth, a dumping ground for the officers and crew the Royal Navy wishes to keep out of the public eye. But when a deadly alien threat appears, the modern starships built by humanity are no match for the powerful alien weapons.

The first book in C.J.Cherryh's eponymous series, Foreigner begins an epic tale of the survivors of a lost spacecraft who crash-land on a planet inhabited by a hostile, sentient alien race. From its beginnings as a human-alien story of first contact, the Foreigner series has become a true science fiction odyssey, following a civilization from the age of steam through early space flight to confrontations with other alien species in distant sectors of space. It is the masterwork of a truly remarkable author.

Summoned to the home planet of her family's business empire, space-fleet commander Kylara Vatta is told to expect a hero's welcome. But instead, she is thrown into danger unlike any other she has faced and finds herself isolated, unable to communicate with the outside world, commanding a motley group of unfamiliar troops, and struggling day by day to survive in a deadly environment with sabotaged gear.

Kylara Vatta is the only daughter in a family full of sons, and her father's only child to buck tradition by choosing a military career instead of joining the family business. For Ky, it's no contest: Even running the prestigious Vatta Transport Ltd. shipping concern can't hold a candle to shipping out as an officer aboard an interstellar cruiser. It's adventure, not commerce, that stirs her soul. And despite her family's misgivings, there can be no doubt that a Vatta in the service will prove a valuable asset. But with a single error in judgment, it all comes crumbling down.

Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped. But that was only the beginning for Sassinak.

It's adventure, not commerce, that stirs her soul. And despite her family's misgivings, there can be no doubt that a Vatta in the service will prove a valuable asset. But with a single error in judgment, it all comes crumbling down.

Historia
Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped. But that was only the beginning for Sassinak.

Paksenarrion was the finest paladin her world would ever see. But Paksenarrion could never have become a fighter at all had it not been for he who had come before: Gird, the liberator, who taught his people that they could fight - and win - against their Mage-born rulers. And after Gird came one more: Luap, Gird's sworn follower and the king's half-breed bastard. Riven by internal conflict, Luap dare not lie and cannot tell the truth, nor face the future.

Oh boy, I found a new series
This is my first time read a Elizabeth Moon book. I had never heard of her before I listen to the interview with her and David Weber. After listening to the interview I was interested enought to give her a try. I enjoyed the story of a young girl from a shipping family that was asked to resign from the military academy because she helped an underclassman find a priest outside of the school who then went on media campaign against the school. Her father makes her a cargo ship Captain (she had her master's license) and sent her off in a old ship to make some trades on way to wrecking yard. The story is interesting and their is lots of adventure, suspense and battles. She is attracted to the military life and the story sets up and leaves you with the question will she stay as a cargo captain or join a mercenary company. This is the first book in a series and set up the character and story line for the series. Cynthia Holloway did okay narrating the book. Can not wait to start book two.

Tough transition from Paksenarrion
From free wheeling to slogging. The books of The Deed Of Paksenarrion, Moon'[s first trilogy, entertained, stimulated and amused me from page one on through the end of the fourth book (actually a new trilogy with roots in Deed). I expected the same of Trading but was massively disappointed for about the first fourth of the book. The book started slowly, I did not have a clear sense of the environment and culture surrounding the characters...I may have found it hard to transition from fantasy to sf...and maybe narrator Cynthia Holloway's lack of variability between character voices worked together to stunt my interest. All of this said, I finished the book and immediately downloaded Book 2 of the Vatta's War series. Why? I am finally enjoying the plot, the action and most of all, the character of Kai Vatta. All of this said, I found the imbalance between treatment of genders hard to handle. In this book Moon's women are generally unbeatable Amazons who develop character traits throughout the story. Her men are stick figures with little importance and little else, too. This is tiresome stuff. This book is no better than average, but there is enough promise to get me to continue on to the next book.

Recommended
1. Book: Grade: A. An excellent series. It's lots of fun to listen too. It's action-adventure sci fi with a bit of political intrigue mixed in. Readers will hardly be surprised to find (in Elizabeth Moon) a young hero, unfairly disgraced, who must now prove herself -- and in the process learn who she is and what she is capable of -- against overwhelming odds. As usual, Moon gives us plenty of female characters who are not one-dimensional cardboard cut-outs, as is all too common in fantasy and science fiction. If you enjoy strong female protagonists, Moon is for you.
Note: It's also true that this is no "Deed of Paksenarrion," but given that that was Elizabeth Moon's "home run" and one of the best fantasy novels of the past 50 years, the comparison isn't really fair. "Deed" is on the short list of top fantasy I recommend to people, along with things like Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, and Song of Ice and Fire.
2. Reader: Grade: A/A-. Audiobook listeners look for two things in a reader, skill and a "good fit" with the book. In my opinion Cynthia Holloway satisfies both very well. She does sound young, but the protagonist is young. I think her "fit" this series is very good, and I hope of Brilliance does any of Moon's other sci fi series (like the Esmay Suiza series), that Holloway does the reading for that too.
The complaint that she "can't do male voices," doesn't seem to me to amount to more than her not sounding male -- but so what? Think of a top reading like George Guidall trying to "do" female voices. Not going to happen.

Ok
I enjoyed the story, liked the raw energy of the character; the truths she discovers about herself are not just her military training. However i give the story a 4-5 but the narration is poor. The voice actor has no depth does not develop other voices well. I'd get another reader if i were the author. I will listen to book 2 but i may read the others just because of the narration.

Interesting story, ruined by bad narration
Would you try another book from Elizabeth Moon and/or Cynthia Holloway?
I'd try another book from Elizabeth Moon, but the Narrator really didn't do a good job with this one.
If you’ve listened to books by Elizabeth Moon before, how does this one compare?
-
Would you be willing to try another one of Cynthia Holloway’s performances?
No. Her performance was seriously awful and made the story nearly impossible to listen to for me.
Was Trading in Danger worth the listening time?
I listened to it while doing other things, so it wasn't a major loss, at least.
Any additional comments?
Cynthia Holloway's narration focused way too much on proper pronunciation and clear speaking, which resulted in a really distracting, unnatural, and overly dramatic pace that made it very very difficult for me to make it through this audiobook. Oddly, the narration style ended up highlighting a lot of the awkwardness that some of the writing showed, particularly the 3 minutes of "Mac Roberts said" that occurred near the start of the book.

Good story but the narration brings it down.
The narrator does some voices really well eg. Toby. However some are slightly painful to listen to. Not horrible just tiring, especially as it seems at times the character voice continues on through the non dialogue parts.

Performance threatens to kill a strong story.
What didn’t you like about Cynthia Holloway’s performance?
Sometimes robotic, often mispronounces words, tone often doesn't match the sense of the scene. Fails to break sentences in the right places or properly differentiate quoted text from unspoken thoughts.
Any additional comments?
The characters are good, and the plot interesting. Its unfortunate that the narrator is either unskilled or didn't bother to read the book before performing it.

Solid Story - Narrator Feels Wrong For It
I took nearly a year to get to the audiobook version of this story but I am glad I stayed with it. I was a huge fan of the Confederation series by Tanya Huff and was looking for something similar and this hit the spot. Strong lead character who makes smart decisions, isn't perfect, and has to live with the consequences of those decisions are all huge aspects of Vatta's War. Admittedly, the audiobook narrator left much to be desired and will unfortunately be used throughout the series. But the writing and story was solid enough to make this a very enjoyable listen.
Story: Kylara Vatta is the daughter of a prosperous shipping company. Her dream was to finish military school rather than follow in her father's footsteps. But in helping a fellow cadet she runs afoul of the admiralty and is forced to resign. To avoid the press, her father sends her on a mission to do a bit of trade before junking an aging transport ship. Vatta, however, has other plans and sees an opportunity to make a name for herself and her company.
Although the above synopsis makes Vatta sound rash, she is actually written as thoughtful and with sound decision making skills. I liked that she didn't put herself into stupid situations without thought but also that her actions often backfired in ways that could not be predicted. She doesn't outfight bad situations; rather, she uses her intelligence to find solutions. This is the sign of a good writer who knows how to write competent female lead characters. There are few moments of humor and this is a very straight-forward story of more realistic characters.
Those sci fi readers looking for space 'shoot em up' and 'pew pew' might be frustrated with all the discussions of trade, contracts, etc. Despite the title, most of the book is about finding solutions rather than lasers or battles. I did not mind this 'business' aspect of the storyline and it grounded it for me much better as a result.
The characters were all interesting and acted very appropriately to their situations. None were superfluous or there to fill up space. Even Vatta's father acted like a father in his concern for a daughter suddenly trapped in the middle of a civil war and unable to communicate.
In all, I immediately purchased the next book in the series and look forward to listening (even with the unfortunate audible narrator).

Good story but the narrator is incompetent
This was a good story sadly diminished by the incompetent narration of Cynthia Holloway. Holloway mispronounces numerous words and doesn't do a good job of providing different voices.
I hope Elizabeth Moon finds a better narrator down the line.

Highly Recommend
Let me start by saying I'm an Elizabeth Moon fan and have enjoyed everything she's written - some more than other, but to date I can't say I didn't like anything she's written.
This is fairly typical Moon - strong female character with strong work ethic and sense of right and wrong, independent, decisive leader, a little on the innocent/naive side, but learns lessons - gets into trouble for all the right reasons and works hard to get out of it generally with some help from tough "gunnery sergeants" (Moon was a Marine and some of the best stereotypes generally show up in her work).
I give this audiobook a 4 out of 5 because it's a good book if you like her style, although in my opinion not her best book (which I happen to think is the Deed of Paksenarrion). Also, the narrator could be better - her reading is a little stilted - areas where a character should be speaking casually are read too literally and I'd like to see her develop a greater range of character voices. But she does ok and I enjoyed both the story and narration enough to download the next book in the series.
