    "The Saga Continues - the standards are still High!"

    You really can't read one of the Lost Fleet books without reading the other five - it just isn't right. This series is well written, a great story and compelling.

    "Good series well narrated"

    I've enjoyed all three books in this series so far, though I fully endorse previous comments about the author's tendency to belabor points unnecessarily without really exploring them in an engaging way. The main character is quite well drawn. The supporting characters tend to be flat and lifeless.
    The premises are interesting, and the hints of a non-human race manipulating the warring parties are intriguing. I hope these are followed thru in the rest of the series.
    The reader has a pleasant voice and style. His accents are a bit cringe-worthy especially the Australian one (not even entirely sure he's supposed to be Aussie. If so, no. Just no.)
    In summary, probably more a three and a half stars. interesting elements. In need of better editing.

    "same 'ol same 'ol"

    Nothing really new in this book. Just a repeat of everything we know so far. I don't think I'm gonna get the next book in the series. There are some interesting parts that foreshadow possible stuff to come, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

    71 year old avid reader using either my eyes or ears. I make earrings that I donate to shelters and while I work, I listen to wonderful books. I also keep in mind that you have to kiss frogs to find princes - time's too short to bother with losers.

    Great sci-fi. If you're curious about my thoughts, see my comments for book 1.

    I am an Australian woman who enjoys reading many different styles of books, from history to sci fi and mystery to poetry. I also love to listen to the same whilst not paying attention to other things. I aim for my reviews to be short and succinct so that they are easy to read.

    "I enjoyed the entire series"

    The series is well written. It is, however, predictable. I enjoyed listening to it, It was very "boys own adventure" in space. An impossible hero and an equally impossible relationship that works out in the end in perhaps the soppiest ending I have ever heard/read in my life. It made me smile. So yes it's cheesey and it's really really obvious, like a brick in the face but it is fun. I mean it's nice every now and then to get on a roller coaster, you know that the danger is false, you know what happens to you but you enjoy it anyway once in a while. That's this series.

    "First sign of a stumble"

    While the saga progresses, the star system encounters are becoming repetitive. Geary is becoming less assure of his role and his relationship with Captain Tanya Desjani is losing its appeal.

    "3rd book's not the charm"

    By this point in the series, we understand the relationships between characters. We understand how the universe works. However, we are slowly dragged through in depth descriptions of both. Again.

    You will be begging the narrator to skip ahead and get to some actual story and not read the parts copied and pasted from book 1.

    "Fantastic Narration!!"

    Christian Rummel is a fantastic narrator. He does great voices and has fantastic intonation. The story is pretty good but (spoiler alert) every time Geary and Victoria Rione have alone time, i want to hurl. Its just weird. haha I had to fast forward through that part because it sounded like a dapper young man and an old lady who has smoked too many Virginia slims getting it on. :) Nevertheless, this is a pretty good series and I've enjoyed it. I look forward to the other books.

    "if this is good writing I should stop reading"
    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    huh


    Would you ever listen to anything by Jack Campbell again?

    I doubt it.
    Sure not on my list of must read author's.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    Disappointment at being such a sucker to buy it.
