A Confederation Of Valor by Tanya Huff
In Valor's Choice, Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr and her crew get yanked from a well-deserved shore leave in order to participate in an easy' mission. They are to act as an honour guard for a diplomatic visit to the world of the Silsviss, reptilian aliens with a strong appreciation for war and conquest. In The Better Part of Valor, Torin Kerr's outspokenness gets her in a load of trouble. After she tells a two-star general what she really thinks of him, she finds herself separated from her platoon and sent off on a perilous assignment.'
Praise for the series:
“An intriguing alien race, a likeable protagonist, a fast moving plot, and a rousing endingWhat more could you ask for?” —Science Fiction Chronicle
“The action is solid, and the marines are an entertaining mix of oddballs.”—Locus
“Balanced against the high body count is Huff’s dialogue, which is snappy and humorous, enmeshed in the racial diversity of the platoon. As a heroine, Kerr shines. She is cut from the same mold as Ellen Ripley of the Aliens films: tough but humane, fiercely protective of her charges, and utterly determined to prevail… Like her heroine, Huff delivers the goods. Valor’s Choice does not make light of war, but at the same time it is incredibly fun to read. Howlingly funny and very suspenseful. I enjoyed every word." —Science Fiction Weekly
“A writer of great versatility, Ms. Huff captures the ambiance of an elite military group and adds a rare depth to skillful characterization to make each personality stand up and be counted." —RT Reviews
“Exciting, mysterious and full of action and puzzles to solve. Torin is everything you want in an action heroine…and this book will leave readers anxious for her next adventure.” —Kliatt
“Huff’s flair for battle scenes and her clarity in visual descriptions support the action quite well.” —Science Fiction Chronicle

Tanya Huff may have moved away from Nova Scotia when she was three years old and has spent the majority of her life in Ontario, but she still considers herself a Maritimer. She earned a degree in Radio and Television Arts from Ryerson Polytechnic on her route to the lovely rural existence she shares with her girlfriend Fiona Patton, six cats, and a chihuahua, an education she was thrilled to finally put to use while writing her new Smoke novels. Blood Price, Blood Trail, Blood Lines, Blood Pact, Blood Debt--featuring Henry Fitzroy, bastard son of Henry VIII, romance writer, and vampire--are among the most successful of her previous twenty-three works.
