The Admiral He Buried

Commander Yun Sato has been handed a dead admiral's ship, his crew, and one standing order: erase his last jump log and never speak of it. The log shows a Khorasi relay station that the fleet swears it never touched. The fleet touched it. She has the coordinates, the ordnance record, and the flight time. What she doesn't have is the other side of the story — until she finds the Khorasi signals officer who survived the strike, living in the wreck with a translator grafted into his lungs and ten years of cruelty in his memory. He can speak every language in the armada. He can't lie. One of them has to walk into the delegation room with the truth. Only one of them can survive being seen doing it.
