SFRevu Review Rating: 80
Since Rick Yancey's tale of teen action pretty much takes off from the first word, that's all it took for me to get hooked.

SFRevu Review Rating: 100
It's full of deep theory that winds through the plot like a cancer gone wild, and the result is that best of all possible worlds, a hard SF novel that won't let you go, with a bombardment of ideas that you won't be able to let go of once they've wormed their viral way into your meaty little brain.

First Published by Del Rey in 2008
  
SFRevu Review Rating: 80
Victory Conditions is a great end (but with room for more) to a series that stands well beside both Bujold's early Miles Vorkosigan novels and Heinlein's Citizen of the Galaxy.

Published by Ballantine Books on September 25, 2007
  
SFRevu Review Rating: 60
It's got some of the good old feel of "Doc" Smith's space wars, updated to at least current Naval standards, and with some solid thought put into the conflicts and technologies of the future.
