Winning Colors

Booted from the Fleet on trumped up charges after saving a villainous superior from catastrophe, Heris Serrano has been marking time captaining the deluxe interstellar yacht Sweet Delight. Now, Heris has been offered a chance at vindication and reinstatement in the Navy. All she has to do is save the galaxy from an interstellar mafia gone berserk.

New York Times best-selling author and former Marine Elizabeth Moon has written many novels, including the Paksenarrion fantasy trilogy (available from Baen as The Deed of Paksenarrion and also as separate books), the Heris Serrano space adventure series (the first three novels of which have been combined as Heris Serrano), and Remnant Population, which was a Hugo Award finalist. For Del Rey, she has written Command Decision, Engaging the Enemy, Marque and Reprisal, Trading in Danger, and the Nebula Award winner The Speed of Dark. After earning a degree in history from Rice University, Moon went on to obtain a degree in biology from the University of Texas, Austin. She lives in Florence, Texas, with her husband and son.
