Outnumbered by the superior forces and firepower of the Syndicate Worlds, the Alliance fleet continues its dangerous retreat across the enemy star system. Led by the legendary Captain John “Black Jack” Geary, who returned to the fleet after a hundred-year suspended animation, the Alliance is desperately trying to return home with its captured prize: the key to the Syndic hypernet, and the key to victory.…

Geary is convinced that the Syndics are planning to ambush the fleet and finish it off once and for all. Realizing the fleet's best (and only) chance is to do the unexpected, Geary takes the offensive and orders the fleet to the Sancere system. There, a multitude of possible routes home give the Alliance fleet a better chance of avoiding their pursuers—and an attack on the Sancere shipbuilding facilities could decimate the Syndic war effort.

Weary from endless combat, the officers and crew of the Alliance fleet can't see the sense in charging deeper into enemy territory—prompting a mutiny that divides them and leaves Geary with higher odds against him than ever before.…

A Decent Sequel (no spoilers)

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

Summary: A decent sequel to book 1 (Lost Fleet: Dauntless). Worth a read.

Pros: The main plot. If you liked book 1, this is more of the same. The author tells a cliched tale, but manages to put enough of a spin on it to keep the reader guessing.

Cons: The minor plot and character motivations. The subplot involving a politician starts poorly, turns believable and interesting halfway through, and finally becomes eye-rollingly tiresome by the final chapter. Indeed, the novel ends not with a dramatic hook but with a feeling of irritation, and the reader is left wondering how Captain Geary (or any human) could feel anything but anger towards a certain character. The main problem is that the personal motivations and actions of the characters don't make sense.

That should tell you how much I liked the story

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

I've read the whole series now. That should tell you how much I liked the story. After a couple of books you kind of figure out how things are going to develop so I wouldn't say it was full of surprises but it wasn't predictable either.

Different people would see the story in different ways but to me it was the consideration of the realities of space that kept me connected. Few people realize how large space actually is. Sci-Fi had lead us to think of space warfare as happening at visual range and perceivable speeds. It just wouldn't be like that. Even modern air warfare strains this idea. The Enterprise would never be nose to nose with a Romulan vessel and shots would be fire from such distances that you might not even see if you hit or missed for a long time.

Black Jack Geary has to deal with the truth of relativity and distances measured in light travel time. Even communication is complicated when there are minutes or even hours of transit time for messages.

If you throw out sub-space the plot thickens and that is what kept me coming back. Not to mention the subterfuge and intrigue.

Better than Dauntless

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

FEARLESS is a decent follow up to the original LOST FLEET book DAUNTLESS. The premise of the Lost Fleet saga is the Alliance's starfleet caught far behind enemy lines and only Captain John "Black Jack" Geary (frozen for a century in an escape pod) can get them back home. It's an entertaining space opera with excellent space battles and a somewhat repetitive beat of Jack angsting over the fact everyone he knows his dead while he's been made a legend by the Alliance's propaganda machine.

I liked this book a little bit more than Dauntless with Jack rescuing a infamous military maverick from a prison camp, Captain Falco, who threatens to usurp his command over the fleet. This wouldn't be a problem if not for the fact Falco is incompetent, dangerously charismatic, and possibly insane after twenty-years of imprisonment in a labor camp. Morale is also dangerously low in the fleet and John has decided to do a daring raid on the enemy's largest shipyards while the rest of their fleet is (ironically) chasing them.

I was hoping for a lengthier conflict between Captain Falco and Captain Geary for control of the fleet. I really enjoyed the battle between Captain Adama and Admiral Cain in Battlestar Galactica's reboot. This is much shorter with the two characters only sharing a short number of encounters before things come to a head.

Fearless is a solid piece of military science fiction that I found quite entertaining. There's a few minor developments character wise but the focus in this series is squarely on the tactics in space, the chain of command, and other Naval details which military enthusiasts will enjoy. I'm not a big fan of one character who gets promoted to love-interest in this book but she's also the only one not in Geary's chain of command so I suppose that was inevitable.

Gripping action with plenty of battles as the Allliance Fleet tears into the Syndic system of Sancere

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2015

Verified Purchase

I continue to be both fascinated and engrossed in Jack Campbell's The Lost Fleet series. The second book, like the first, gives readers a character that is memorable and unique - Captain John 'Black Jack' Geary is a legend and an ordinary man who must find a way to balance both aspects, as well as the expectations of the Fleet he commands. As readers know, John Geary was in hibernation for a century before been found by the Alliance Task force. In the time he slept, the Alliance has been at war with Syndicate for nigh on a hundred years and in that time he has become a legend amongst the Alliance naval forces. Now, finding himself in charge of an entire fleet, he finds to his annoyance that people frequently quote things he said 100 years ago - usually out of context - and expect him to go full thrust against the Syndics. Unfortunately, he is not the sort of Captain that throws away ships or crew with great disregard. His decisions are purposeful, designed to balance good strategy and tactics with minimal loss. He is a desciplined man, from a long gone age who uses his knowledge - garnered from long gone, experienced military men and women of the Alliance Fleet - to protect his Fleet. However, he finds that military disciline has fallen by the way side and many of his more junior Captains are glory hunters who risk their ships and crew with their constant desire to eliminate the Syndics.
Fearless continues the struggle Captain John Geary has, as he tries to demonstrate to his Captains a different way of thinking that will ensure as many of his ships and personnel make it back to Alliance Space. He also battles against the legend of 'Black Jack' Geary that could lead him to take the easy route - domination, power and control - through taking advantage of that legendary status. He would rather people in the fleet saw him as the very ordinary Captain John Geary, not as 'Black Jack'. There is some brilliant battle action; a discovery about the hypernet gate system that has the potential to be devastating; Geary has to match wits with a liberated Alliance Captain who has the potential to undermine his role as Captain of the Fleet and mutiny by some of his more recalcitrant Captains. A thoroughly enjoyable read that is as much character driven as it is tense battle action. I highly recommend this series for its attention to detail, complex chracters, fantastic plot, setting, and solid hard science.

Nail biting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2019

The enormous task of seeing the fleet back safely to Alliance space has never seemed so overwhelming. Faced with enemies on all sides, contentious captains seeking to undermine his orders and syndic forces determined to throw everything at the fleet or die fighting. The odds stacked against Captain Geary achieving his objective are staggering but if anyone can do it then Black Jack Geary’s that man.

Good addictive story telling.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2017

Bought all 6 and once I started I could not put them down. Was starting to wonder how anyone in his book stayed concious with how many of them didn't realise they were holding their breath but by then I was on book 5 and think Jack Campbell can be forgiven for repeating himself when it was probably not meant for someone to read all his books in a week. I will now have to go and get the other sets.
Story is simple but well written, yes it's predictable but in the same way a Bond book is. Good addictive story telling.

mutiny in space

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 10, 2007

Verified Purchase

second in a trilogy of books [dauntless, fearless, courageous] about the exploits of the lost fleet. in a space war between the good alliance and the nasty syndic, a fleet belonging to the former is lost behind enemy lines. their only chance of getting home? captain john 'black jack' geary, a man rescued from suspended animation a century after the first battle of the war. he's become a legend in the meantime. can he live up to it? deal with mutinous subordinates? scheming politicans? and get the fleet home?

this is not really a trilogy to come in on the middle of so start with volume one first. the writing in both of them is much the same. It's not great literature, but it's a little better than average and not as bad as it could be, and it does try to give depth to it's characters and explore strong themes of duty and what people become during wartime. All these books are a little under three hundred pages so they're short and easy reading. the space combat tries to be realistic and within the laws of physics.

And when reading this, you know what I kept feeling? the desire to know what would happen next. so the writer has done their job. entertaining pulp science fiction

Good read!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

Again I read this quite a while back. It definitely picks up from the first book and contains a bit more action and character developments. I found the book real easy to get through and really enjoyed the focused story arc.

As with all the books in this series, it is entirely focused on the main story arc and does not waiver and wonder with multiple events. I found it really easy to follow and get through.

Very good series for anyone who is just starting out wants to get into sci-fi and reading novels in general.

The Lost Fleet: Fearless

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

I think the term is "a good read"
Slightly repetitive & for my taste overly detailed "action" sequences which hold up & slow the story lines
However, I do like (& keep buying) his books, my only real complaint being I might well be dead from old age before they reach
any real defining endings
I read a review elsewhere of the latest book in the series that thought he might be running out of ideas & quite a few of his books sometimes give that impression, but he is a good writer & as I stated at the start of this review very readable
