Our view
“Victories Greater Than Death” is an exuberant young-adult space opera set in a wildly inventive universe. Tina Mains learns she was cloned from an alien war hero when a beacon inside her pulls her into a galactic war. Some readers are charmed by its diverse crew and its surprises, even if the cast feels crowded; others find the pace headlong and the characters thin. A cliffhanger leads into the rest of the “Unstoppable” trilogy.
