New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell’s action-packed Lost Fleet series has propelled readers from deep space to the very edge of their seats. Now Admiral John "Black Jack" Geary embarks on a thrilling new adventure to defend the Alliance and safeguard the future.

Geary and the crew of the Dauntless have managed to safely escort important alien representatives to Earth. But before they can make tracks for home, two of Geary’s key lieutenants vanish. The search for his missing men leads Geary on a far-flung chase, ultimately ending at the one spot in space from which all humans have been banned: The moon Europa. Any ship that lands there must stay or be destroyed—leaving Geary to face the most profound moral dilemma of his life.

To make matters worse, strains on the Alliance are growing as the Syndics continue to meddle. Geary is ordered to take a small force to the border of Syndic space. But what he finds there is a danger much greater than anyone expected: A mysterious threat that could finally force the Alliance to its knees.

As Geary spearheads a desperate battle to protect the Alliance against a shrewd and powerful enemy, he’s left with just one question: Who are they?

I enjoyed this considerably, yet a little less than the preceding books.

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is the tenth book in the Lost Fleet adventures of John Geary, which are told in a consecutive pair of military science fiction series. I enjoyed this book considerably, though a little less than most of the preceding installments. Spoilers ahead.... The later books introduce new elements: for instance, the first third of this particular book takes place in Sol system. Nonetheless, there is a certain repetitiveness to the books when read in quick succession. John Geary faces challenges, but honorably surmounts them, resisting all temptation to behave poorly himself. He may get stressed or tired, but he hasn't been injured or ill since near the beginning of the whole saga (when he was recovering from a long cryo-sleep). He regrets the mounting deaths of civilians, soldiers, humans, and aliens, but those regrets don't make him less capable. That said, I enjoyed book ten a lot, and I am looking forward to the final book.

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).

So far I have really enjoyed all the lost fleet books

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

So far I have really enjoyed all the lost fleet books, but as the books continue I am starting to find the overall story to be unacceptable. Admiral Geary is supposed to be a legend, a national Treasure, the people love him, but the government hates him? Seems to be in a realistic universe, the majority of politicians would be kissing his ass, riding his coat tails if they could. Of course some would hate him, as in the book, but practically all of them? Even to the point of trying to get him killed, repeatedly? I ain't buying it. With the population hanging on his every word, all he would need to do is even hint that such senators existed, and any that he named would be turned out on their asses. Yet instead in this story, a supposedly brilliant commander just falls into one trap after that were put in place by members of his own government. And what about the Fleet headquarters? Everyone including the admiral realizes they are out to kill him as well, and what does he do about that? the man that is the hero of the alliance, the supposedly most powerful man in the universe? He does nothing, he simply ignores the threats, the looming civil war, and dutifully takes orders, even though he realizes that those orders come directly from those who wish to see him fail, or worse yet, dead.

Sorry but the story is falling apart, because no one, regardless of how honorable would allow themselves to be toyed with repeatedly, especially when their own lives were at stake, not to mention their nation, and especially when that person had more than enough power to do something about it.

More Blackjack goodness

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019

Black Jack Geary returns with a visit to the planet Earth. We don't get to see much of the planet but apparently its a pastoral and politically irrelevant world that has great spiritual significance. It's more or less like some tiny countries in Europe now that have since taken to bartering on old glories.

We don't get an explanation who the military defending the planet in the previous book and I find that to be a disappointment. Still, we have a decent plot about trying to retrieve two lost crew members stuck on a planet under the strictest biological quarantine. There's less space opera fleet battles in this book and I think it benefits from that as Black Jack trying to figure out a way to solve a non-military problem is more interesting than watching him pound fleets with genius tactics.

At least for now.

This series is loosing steam

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

Unfortunately it is my opinion that this series is loosing steam. The original series, The Lost Fleet, had a purpose and a goal. Every book advanced the story towards that goal and they were generally quite enjoyable to read. This follow-up series, Beyond The Frontier, started well enough but already the second book felt like it was going downhill and the previous book in the series was not all that impressive. Unfortunately this one follows the same trend.

As I wrote, the book is not really going anywhere. It is just one problem for Geary to solve after another and all of them are created by various more or less intelligent (usually less) political manipulators and career hunters. Geary has recently come back after having discovered not one but several civilisations, all of them travelling the stars but not all of them friendly. Even the [censored]politicians in these books should start to get concerned by this. But they continue with their political machinations as well as trying to cut corners and costs for the military.

To constantly read about these [censored] politicians, their screw-ups, the constantly failing hardware and Geary having to wade through this swamp of political nonsense seeing his fleet gradually being whittled down is tiresome and not at all fun reading. It is really a shame because when the action starts it is quite good. The fleet action is among the better ones around. So are the characters, at least the ones that are not in the political [censored] camp.

I really hope that this series will be shaping up and that the next instalment will bring not just be another string of screw-ups for Geary to solve, tone down the political [censored] and bring back some focus on a larger goal, preferably involving some of the aliens.

Lost Fleet BTF Steadfast - Could do better but I am looking forward to the next one.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

The fourth and hopefully not the last installment of the 'Lost Fleet - Beyond the Frontiers' series and you get the feeling that it is only there to build a start for the next book. A visit to Earth, kidnapping and rescue of crew, visit to other systems and fight with an unidentified fleet of warships. Although there is plenty to keep the reader occupied, particularly the increased interplay with Alliance politicians, the Dancers and the soon to be revealed 'Dark Ship AI Fleet', it is the relationship between the main characters of Admiral Geary and Captain Desjani that is really beginning to grate. Geary has turned into a hen pecked husband who cannot have more than two conversations with his wife without apologising for some spurious misdemenour or telling her how great she is. The interplay with Victoria Rione is much better and I find myself wishing Geary had ended up with her! She has become a much more interesting and believable character.
That said, I do believe this is a stepping stone book that will continue what has been a great series and I am looking forward to more in the BTF series as well as Lost Stars! Bring it on Mr Campbell.

Post war headache!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

Another good instalment, I'd worried after the dancers reached earth that it seemed like a natural end.
The syndicate in disarray, the enigmas keeping their heads down and the kicks so far away that humanity could rise to the challenge when they needed to.
I was expecting the next series to be set Alitalia down the line with Geary leading a fleet against the kicks,
but Campbell hasn't finished with this thread yet.
The earth system is hilariously beaurocratic and Geary has a few hurdles to overcome before returning to the post war swamp of alliance space.
Overall a book that zips along and was finished too soon for me! Roll on the next one!

Have enjoyed the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

Have enjoyed the series. This was the weakest. A couple of minor who cares filler events, the kidnapping and the border patrol action. I started to skip pages, especially during the kidnap, as is it was a couple of minor characters. When you've gone for massive intergalactic war, and then a bit of small scale refugee action it feel retrograde.
On another note the Alliance's politicians are so relentlessly duplicitous that Jack's loyalty to the Alliance govt must surely be exhausted. They clearly need sweeping away and at some point any reasonable person would realise "they're trying to kill me."
A good series but I'll wait for the tanks to refuel before buying the next.

And after this one - civil war?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

There were moments when I thought that Lost Fleet might be running out of steam, but by the end I had really enjoyed Steadfast. And I had also enjoyed a couple of well-written scenes where the possibility of our desperately non-political hero took another step forwards a political future. But the last part of the book showed there was still fighting to be done, so not quite yet. New readers are advised to start with the first book, Dauntless. This is a serial, not a series.

Jack Campbell gave up providing star charts for his novels around vol 5 of the original series, but 4 charts compiled from the descriptions and brought right up to the current volume are available free at [...] You can argue with them if you will!

A fantastic read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 30, 2021

Just finished reading this episode in the Lost Fleet series and I already have the next one (Leviathan) to start today. It's an excellent read; one which I struggle to to put down. Jack Campbell has produced an excellent storyline which I strongly recommend to sci-fi readers.
I've already pre ordered his next book too, which is due for release on 15th June.
