Elizabeth Moon
Book 5 of Vatta's War series
In this final chapter, everything gets wrapped. Ky gets her fleet and the battle and war are taken to Nexus, the planet where all interstellar communication is controlled. Rafe is there on planet, Ky is coming in hot after the pirates, Stella is managing the 'behind-the-lines' subterfuge, and Aunt Grace is already next level. Overall, this is a quality ending to a great storyline and storytelling. In hindsight, I liked the hints (but not in-your-face integration) of AI and augmented humans (humods), the subtle quality science (some rules are broken, but not all of them and the ones that aren't are plot essential), and the (unfortunately) non-standard role for women who don't necessarily want to grow up to be parents. Well done Elizabeth Moon.
4 stars (out of 4)
