Publisher's summary

The first book of best-selling sci-fi author Jack Campbell’s new series "Beyond the Frontier" returns to find Captain John “Black Jack" Geary, the hero of the "Lost Fleet" series, awoken from cryogenic sleep to take command of the fleet.

Geary’s legendary exploits have earned him the adoration of the people—and the enmity of politicians convinced that a living hero can be a very inconvenient thing. The century-long war between the Alliance and the Syndicate Worlds may be over, but Geary and his newly christened First Fleet have been ordered back into action to investigate the aliens occupying the far side of Syndic space and to determine how much of a threat they represent to the Alliance. And while the Syndic Worlds are no longer united, individually they may be more dangerous than ever before. Geary knows that members of the military high command and the government question his loyalty to the Alliance and fear his staging a coup, so he can’t help but wonder if the newly christened First Fleet is being sent to the far side of space on a suicide mission.

William C. Dietz, the author of the "Legion of the Damned" series, calls Dreadnaught "a rousing adventure", and Elizabeth Moon, the Nebula Award-winning author of the "Vatta's War" series, says it’s “loaded with edge-of-your-seat combat". Read by Christian Rummel, who has narrated The Lost Fleet series to excellent reviews, Dreadnaught promises to be an out-of-this-world experience.

BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction written and read by author Jack Campbell.

Nice listen

Finally a book that doesn't make technology the devil. A good, easy to listen to book.

dissapointed

the narrator ruins the story for me by using an effeminate voice for the female characters and compensating with an overly deep voice for the male characters .really irritating to listen too

too much politics

The first three quarters of the book became tedious due to all of the politics involved in the culture. Although this was necessary background it took way too long to develop. The last quarter of the book was more enjoyable as it had many action sequences.

The same but different

I enjoyed this book. I'd read some negative reviews but wanted to know what happened next. The internal politics was similar in construct to previous books (and I have liked it, so no change there). The Enigma race and the investigations of it were slow, and clearly will go into another book or few, and the addition (spoiler alert) ........... of an additional sentient species throws a bit of a curve at you, and that's a good thing.

Awesomeness

This series is absolutely amazing. I found it very hard to put all of this series books down. I also have to give kudos to the narrator, his voice distinctions are excellent and made for a great listen.

Listening to this series is Great!

This is so far my favorite series to listen. This book perfectly mixes scifi/ fantasy.

An awesome science fiction listen.
