Fleet of Shadows

Tyban Graziano is young, rich, and a little stupid. When he isn't pulling heiresses out of high-priced clubs on the newly terraformed Venus, he's pulling the strings of daddy's luxury cruise line empire. He owns all the major routes to the orbital resorts high above Saturn--until one is viciously attacked by pirates in what looks to be a deliberate attempt to provoke a counterattack. As his stock plummets and the survivors of the Equinox demand justice, he turns to an old family friend who can pull strings in the upper echelons of the Tri-Earth Conglomerate. But when the TEC fleet comes to grips with the pirates, they find a secret that leads much deeper than Graziano ever imagined. A secret known only to a mysterious hermit lurking in high Uranus orbit, that will drag the entire system into a desperate war for survival...
