bubble gum for the mind. enjoyable listen.
helps pass driving time on long trips. overall ok

This my second time reading this title. I started with the first book in Lost Fleet series. Starting the story at the beginning made the understanding of this book much better and overall the experience was more entertaining.
The relationship of Admiral Geary and Captain Dejouny needs more development to make it a realistic part of the story rather than a kind of ongoing buddy relationship instead of a marriage. This is military scifi though so perhaps a real male female relationship is not necessary. Jack Campell did develop the relationship between Admiral Geary and Co President Reoun. The narrator does a great job with a all the voices clearly representing different characters. Definitely enjoy this Author and Narrator.

I fell in love with the narrator from the Remaining series and decided to give this a go because of him. It was good enough to buy the second installment immediately after the first was over.

Captain John "Blackjack" Geary's adventure continues! The way an alien species is portrayed in this series is really creative. Also the underlying events that will unfold later are shown here. Good read and better listen.

I'm a fanboy for Hemry/Campbell, mostly because I think I believe his vision of the future. His explanations of humanity's first contact with Xeno society is rife with believable enigma(that's a pun, sorta). A great companion the the original series

It's well worth the credit! I have listened to all the books in the series well worth the money. Buy it!

I love these books. Gives me reason to goto work every night. Best entertainment ever.

The "Ancestors" thing was REALLY overdone & got very irritating. that was the main flaw - seemed like the author was trying to be spiritual without having a God figure in there. it here than that, it wasn't bad. a long way from the best I've listened to, but not too bad.

I consider this the 7th installment of The Lost Fleet series. It picks up pretty much right where Victorious left off. It has the exact same characters and moves forward with the exact same plot line.

I am developing a love/hate relationship with this series.

Examples;

1. I hate the way Campbell keeps repeating the same stuff over and over until I want to scream, but I love the adventure of exploring this universe with the fleet.
2. I hate the way Campbell constantly tells you how the characters are feeling instead of showing you through their actions, but I love the power struggles between the different groups. (What is that devious government up to?)
3. I love the battle sequences, but I hate the way Campbell lists Evey battleship in the fleet ad nauseam.
4. I love the characters. I really do. However, I hate the way the heros are perfect. They never do anything wrong... and I want to puke every time they talk about how honorable they are.
5. I love the mysterious alien race. I find them intriguing. I want to know more about them, but I hate... actually, I have no hated counterpart here. I love this whole part of the story.

After that last book I was loosing interest in this whole series. After this one I have a renewed interest. I shall be sailing the universe with admiral Geary again in the future.

Was pleased with this story. The performance was out standing as the other ones have been. The end really gets you excited for the next one.
