Product Description:
Elizabeth Moon’s thrilling Vatta’s War series, featuring the no-holds-barred space-faring heroine Kylara Vatta, has secured her reputation as a master of first-rate military science fiction. Now Commander Vatta is back–locked and loaded and ready to win the fight against the marauding forces of ruthless space pirate Gammis Turek.
For Ky, it’s not just about liberating the star systems subjugated by Turek and defending the rest of the galaxy’s freedom. There’s also a score to be settled and payback to be meted out for the obliteration of the Vatta Transport dynasty . . . and the slaughter of Ky’s family. But the enemy have their own escalation efforts under way–including the placement of covert agents among the allies with whom Ky and the surviving Vattas are collaborating in the war effort. And when a spy ring linked to a wealthy businessman is exposed, a cracked pirate code reveals a galaxywide conspiracy fueling the proliferation of Turek’s warship fleet.
Matching the invaders’ swelling firepower will mean marshaling an armada of battle-ready ships for Ky to lead into combat. But a violent skirmish leaves Ky reeling–and presumed dead by her enemies. Now, as Turek readies an all-out attack on the Nexus system–a key conquest that could seal the rest of the galaxy’s doom–Ky must rally to the challenge, draw upon every last reserve of her strategic skills, and reach deep if she is to tear from the ashes of tragedy her most decisive victory.

Victory Conditions (2008) is the fifth naval SF novel in the Vatta's War series, following Command Decision. In the previous volume, Kylara Vatta and her Space Defense Force drove away pirates attacking two Mackensee Military Assistance Corporation ships in the Boxtop-zip-figaro-112 system. More MMAC ships were expected in twelve days, so the SDF stayed insystem to protect the surviving MMAC vessel.
When an SDF technician repaired the ISC ansible in the system, the relay notified ISC ... Read More

Wow! More thrilling space opera from Elizabeth Moon.
This book lives up to everything we've come to expect from Ms Moon. Good character development, good plot lines and well described space battles with plausible physics.
This is the last book in the Vatta's War series, returning to an established cast in an ongoing war with the space pirates. sounds corny I know but Ms Moon pulls it off in stile.
The pace increases towards the end with what feels like a rushed and ... Read More

I LIKE Elizabeth Moon's books. However the last two before this strayed from the straight-on "Space Opera" of some of her earlier work (read the Esmay Suiza stories!). I was getting a little tired of the poorly disguised lectures, so I was pleasantly surprised that Victory Conditions just forges ahead, doing a nice job of bringing the Vatta's War series to resolution and conclusion. Once again, she's brought her personal knowledge of what life might be like in a space navy to bear, and the result ... Read More

I enjoyed this book immensely. I couldn't read it fast enough yet hated to finish it as it was the last of the trilogy. I've read all 3 books, the hardest part is waiting for the sequels. I hope Elizabeth Moon will come out with another series soon. She writes well. Her characters are believable and stories action packed.
