The fourth book in Elizabeth Moon’s Vatta’s War series picks up pretty much where Engaging the Enemy left off. Ky’s trying to put together a fleet, Rafe is sorting out issues related to his family, and the situation with the pirates and the rebuild of Vatta Transport continue to develop. There’s a bit less battle and a lot more character and plot development in this book, and I’m not complaining. It was nice to see some parts of this universe get fleshed out a little more. Apparently the next book is going to be the end of the series and from the way this one ended it’s going to be a heck of a ride! |
