The Victory is the fourth and most recent sub-grouping of Dan Abnett’s Gaunt’s Ghosts series, covering novels from Blood Pact (2009) through to The Vincula Insurgency (2021) and associated short fiction. This period of the series sees the Tanith First and Only operating at a higher strategic level within the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, dealing with internal threats to the Imperial command structure as well as continuing enemy operations on multiple fronts.

Blood Pact introduces a Chaos cult operating behind Imperial lines with disturbing effectiveness. Salvation’s Reach sends the regiment on a deep-space raid against a Chaos stronghold. The Warmaster and Anarch deal with the dangerous political situation around the Crusade’s supreme commander and the threat from the Chaos warlord Anakwanar Sek. The Vincula Insurgency continues directly from Anarch and represents the most recent published installment. The Victory sub-collection assumes familiarity with the full preceding sequence and rewards readers who have followed the regiment from First and Only onward.
