And after college, I joined the military myself. My mother had been an aeronautical engineer, a liaison engineer for the Army Air Corps with an aircraft plant, during WWII, enforcing change orders and ensuring quality control. Before I read science fiction (started that in the ninth grade) I was already reading about developments in rocketry and astronomy, as well as military history and memoirs from WWII and the Korean War.
Thus it was natural to read in those areas, and also write in those areas. Space exploration and military subjects have both intrigued me from childhood. What is it about these sub-genres that most intrigue you? When it comes to science fiction, you tend to come back to space opera and military SF. The first two instalments of the Vatta’s Peace series are available now: Cold Welcomeand Into the Fire. In the new series, Vatta’s Peace, Moon reunites her audience with heroine Kylara Vatta, space-fleet commander.Īs one of the most enduring female voices in military science fiction, we wanted to talk to Elizabeth about the logistics of writing a series and what it is like to return to characters after such a long break. Elizabeth Moon has been publishing novels since 1988 and recently returned to one of her most successful and loved universes, Vatta’s War.
