Looking for #6

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was hooked on the series when I started #1 Dauntless in the Lost Fleet series followed thru to #6 then picked up the story with the spin off Lost Stars 1-4 I really liked it and also the Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier book 1-5 of advertised 6 I enjoyed the series but now have been waiting 3 years for book #6 telling what happens after the battle at Alternate Unity when they were supposedly going to Unity with the evidence to try and fix the government and help the alliance survive. instead I see the story of Michael Geary in the syndic home system I the book #1 of the Lost Fleet: Corsair series and guess what you can't enlarge the print because of pictures for those of use that need large print WE JUST GOT SCREWED and of course no refunds for not being able to read the books and on top of that instead of a book #6 to end the Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier we get books #1&2 of the Genesis series to go back to the first Geary that starts a tradition of going above and beyond expectations in the service of the people he is entrusted with protecting, HOW ABOUT ACTUALLY FINISHING THE "LOST FLEET: BEYOND THE FRONTIER" some of us have been waiting for 3 years for the final book I bought #5 Leviathan on March 5, 2015 it is as of now Aug. 6, 2018 I would like to see book 6 before I die of old age thank you very much I will not spend another dime on your books because apparently you can't finish a series as advertised I might as well take the car to the car wash and bring it back after shampoo no rinse I would get the same feeling of satisfaction
if you didn't want to do 6 why didn't you just stop with Geary escorting the dancer back to midway checking on how they were doing to going back home and calling it a day. a 4 book series stopping there would have been better then a promised 6 book series that leaves you hanging at 6 with no conclusion
Thanks for Nothing Disgusted

Same formula as all the other books

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

I bought the first 'Black Jack' book, then relied on my library for the rest. Caved, and bought this one as it was the last in this series. The books are incredibly formulaic - revived from 100-years of cryogenic sleep, stern-jawed hero with uncompromising principles and a sharp salute, saves the Alliance Fleet, then attacks and conquers various space-faring enemies, some of them non-human, through brilliant warfare strategies and tactics - which are endlessly debated and outlined along the way. Professional women swoon over him and although he's a bit dense when it comes to understanding them he does manage to marry one of them. Popular with the people; unpopular with the powers-that-be, because he's deemed a threat (but, hey, the guy is ferociously loyal to the vows he took to defend and protect and has no political ambition). In this book the 'enemy' were dark (invisible at first) ships, manned by robots (run amok), built by Alliance politicians trying to eliminate our popular hero. There is something addictive about these books - perhaps we all wistfully hope for days gone by when honour actually meant something and battles could be fought and won decisively. I made the mistake of skipping to the end and then couldn't summon the energy to go back and read everything because I knew how it would all unfold.

I thoroughly enjoyed this conclusion to the series.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is the eleventh and (at least as yet) final book in the Lost Fleet adventures of John Geary. I've devoured all eleven books in five weeks. They aren't high art, but they exactly suited my mood: military science fiction that absorbed me, where I could root for the indisputably good hero in an uncomplicated, uncritical way. The book that had the most impact on me was the opening volume, Dauntless, because at that point Campbell's superb space battles were new to me. But I enjoyed each book, particularly the aforementioned space battles and the various aliens. Spoilers ahead.... This final book brought the main plot to a satisfying conclusion and offered several nice elements along the way, such as the unexpected use of poetry. While I would have appreciated an extra few pages of wind-down after the climax, that is a small gripe. I'm going to bump up my 3 1/2 stars to 4 stars in gratitude for the entertainment the series afforded me.

About my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. I am miserly with 5-star reviews; 4 stars means I liked a book very much; 3 stars means I liked it; 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved).

45% talk, talk, talk before anything happens

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

The book starts with too much endless talk, and it's unbelievable that the government and/or fleet thinks they can wander through alien territory, months of travel from home, with no idea how many enemies they'll face or what their strength might be, and survive it to get home again. The profound lack of trust between government and fleet is hard to buy, too ... and yet, when Geary meets (spoiler) the council, they're quite reasonable. Oh well. False alarm!

Campbell Writes Another Winner in the Sage of Admiral Geary & the Alliance

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

Jack Campbell has the experience and talent to write great space battles that actually comply with the laws of physics. These books address the problems a society faces when war is the norm and the good guys and bad guys are no longer distinguishable from each other in the ways they conduct their war. The core story is about Captain Jack Geary who spent 100 years in a cryo-capsule escape pod and how he reacts to the barbarity that both the Alliance and the Syndics have allowed to become the norm. As the new Admiral in command of the Alliance fleet, he leads the Alliance to victory - but finds that once a society has become used to war, returning to peace is a very difficult journey. You need to read the entire series to really understand what is happening. Campbell is being compared to Heinlein; but I think he has eclipsed him many times over.

Great book showing that humans are better than machines and Black Jack is better than anyone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

If anyone in computer science wants to see what happens when Artificially generated intelligence is left to politicians then this is the story to read. It's part of a series but work well as a standalone book. All the favourite characters are back and this time it really could be the end. Will the Admiral be able to beat himself in a dangerous battle against an AI that knows all his moves.

Back to form, more or less...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

I had become a bit disappointed with a couple of previous volumes in the "Beyond the Frontier" series. This one, however, was to some extent better because it used most of the ingredients and the same formula that had made the initial "Lost Fleet" series so successful.

So, once again, you get the rather impressive space battles, with the additional twists that this time looks more like a civil war and like having "Black Jack" fighting against himself. You also get a little taste of covert operations, whether of the subversive kind or of some totally destructive and ultra-secret military program that our heroes have to fight against. Finally, you also get a couple of high profile losses among the Lost Fleet leaders and associates and a couple of pinches of aliens thrown in: a few allusions to "the Kicks" and the fate of their super-battleship, and more direct involvement of the poetic "Dancers" and their fantastic piloting skills.

Also, a couple of features which I found "overdone" in previous episodes and which grated a bit are significantly toned down in this volume. One is the somewhat lame bantering between Black Jack and his female associates. The other one is about the personal intrigues and relationships within the Fleet, which I could not help finding bland and somewhat artificial in previous episodes.

Two additional things need to be notes perhaps. The first is that it is somewhat preferable to have read the previous volumes in the series to fully understand what is going on. The second is that this book is good, but however certainly not the best in the series, if only because there is little in it that is original. It is essentially the same tried and tested formula which is applied with a few little tweaks and, once again, quite successfully. So, if you liked the initial volumes of the Series, then you will like this one also. Four stars

Brilliant read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2015

Verified Purchase

A good read with a fast paced action that I have come to expect from this author. I will admit, I thought the ending was a little bit rough edged, with a cliff-hanger that is an extremely easy to see coming, and I find that Shamrocks skill set is being a bit too exaggerated. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and I found the part about Lt. Iger's talents very entertaining. The ending whilst being an easy to see cliff-hanger, was quite sad.

All in all, an absolutely brilliant novel, nothing less. I have enjoyed every single one of Jack Campbell's novel that I have read, and I would advise anyone who has an interest in space military novels to read them. If you do wish to read them, I would suggest starting with "The Lost Fleet Dauntless" as it is the first novel set in this world (figuratively speaking of course, I mean it is in space after all)

in what seems like a sacrificial encounter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

For fans of the series Beyond the Frontier - Leviathan is a must read. The out of control Alliance fleet of AI warships is fought, in what seems like a sacrificial encounter, with the reappearance of the Dancers (in strength) as allies. Admiral Geary's staff manage to work out how to get the Dancers to say what they mean in plain language and this would seem crucial, not just for the Alliance but also for the Midway System, in its parallel story thread. (See Imperfect Sword and Shattered Spear.) The Dancers, friendly aliens who have a better idea than any human group about what is going on in the galaxy, are the key to further development of the Lost Fleet and Lost Stars series. If it wasn't for the Dancers, Levithian would be a natural ending to the Lost Fleet series, as there is, at the last moment, a political solution for the rift between Admiral Geary and the politicians of the Alliance and the First Fleet surely fights its last battle. There's a bit of tension between the author's obvious belief that AI battleships are a bad idea and the fact that in the Lost Fleet universe the split seconds of actual combat between fleets travelling at appreciable fractions of the speed of light must be completely automated. The reader can live with this, however.

I loved the book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

I loved the book, like all the previous ones. It felt like a natural progression in the series.Good battles and less of the "space is big" parts. Just right balance. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of this series.

The only criticism, is a surprising mistake. The dark ships can perform much better than the ordinary ships because they have no people on board so can use excessive acceleration etc. However Admiral Bloc is on one ship, although a virtual prisoner, and is still alive. I expected that the first time the AIs needed the additional acceleration and performance they would have sacrificed their human passengers. After all they think nothing of killing civilians just to gain a tactical advantage. A minor hiccup in an otherwise well considered enemy.
