Triumphant is the third instalment in Campbell’s prequel series The Genesis Fleet and it continues following the evolution of the Alliance. The invasion of Kosatka has been prevented though there’s still a lot of mopping up to be done and Geary has returned to Glenlyon. To survive against the...

This is Jack Campbell at his best. I thoroughly enjoyed this latest romp in his Lost Stars spin-off series. The characters are all fleshing out nicely – sympathetic and believable – the action, both space and planet based is fast, exciting and never too drawn out. In fact I think this is...

I' know we've a few Jack Campbell readers on the Chrons now, so who else spotted this new offering coming along? It's a prequel to the Lost Fleet set, I think, in the earliest days of the Alliance. Might be interesting. Vanguard (The Genesis Fleet, #1)

Perilous Shield is Campbell’s second book in his Lost Stars spin off from the Lost Fleet series and, whilst it has several intersecting points with that series, is addressing almost completely different issues. Its foundation is the collapse of the Syndicate Worlds government and, though they do...

Though set in the same universe as his successful Lost Fleet series, Campbell has here produced something very different; where Lost Fleet was dominated by big fleet battles, the battles in Tarnished Knight are on a much smaller scale and the ground battles are every bit as important as the...

Leviathan is the fifth and, I believe, the last in The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier series though Campbell has certainly left himself plenty of scope to return and continue with another chapter in the life of Black Jack Geary separate from the spin off Lost Stars series. Throughout the two...

I really enjoyed the six books in Jack Campbell's original Lost Fleet series - good-paced reading, with a memorably clever insight on how the speed of light limits visual and communications readings. Geary was an easy first person character to follow, and there's good tension between...

Dreadnought is the first book in Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier series which follows on from his Lost Fleet series. This is intelligent military space opera written by an ex naval officer with the action is very much at the fleet level rather the individual level. Which is fine...

As I mentioned in my introductions thread, I've not read any serious Sci-fi for years - nothing that've been able to get into at any rate. However, I was in my local Bookshop the other day and picked up a copy of Jack Campbell's 'Dauntless' - the first the the 'Lost fleet' series. I put away...

I hadn't heard of Jack Campbell until I read a recent recommendation from the Classic Science Fiction discussion group, but I was intrigued that he was so highly rated as a writer of military SF, so I bought the first book of his Lost Fleet series, Dauntless, first published in 2006. The...

Okay, on recent recommendations in another thread I started reading Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet series, starting with Dauntless. Minor spoilers of the first 20 or so pages. The main character Captain "Black Jack" Geary, was lost, floating around in a cryo pod for 100-years while a space war...
