Fearless

Lost Fleet, Book 2

By: Jack Campbell

Narrated by: Jack Campbell, Christian Rummel

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 great listen !

This series is extremely enjoyable for folks who like military sci-fi I recommend it .

Shut Up

One thing I find ultimately ridiculous, Before every book in this series Jack Campbell walks around a room the Army calls a "I love my wall," The one statement sums it all up: "One of the endearing themes... Really? Isn't our job to decide how endearing a book might be?

Oh by the way, I really like this series and have listened to it several times. I just skip the ego rant.

Well worth listening to!

It can be hard reviewing books, as I typically won't consider books with lower than a 4.5 rating due to the way the reviews work. Is this really a 5-star book? Maybe, but it definitely was worth listening to and I will continue the series. I'm in the middle of book 3 right now, and haven't lost any interest in it. I can't say the same for a lot of books I've started. Nice series.

space fleet combat strategy

overall ideas and story is compelling and enjoyable but sometimes the pace drags. A little to much dialogue exposition.

Really Great Space Battles

The descriptions of all the space battles are very understandable and fun to follow along (with). Captain Geary trying to herd his cats of Commanders and Captains at conference meetings, brings back memories of my corporate career. But now, I can get some good laughs as Captain Geary herds and coaxes his fleet to victory!
