Publisher's summary

Thawed out after a century of cryogenic sleep, Captain John “Black Jack” Geary has led the Alliance fleet through Syndicate Worlds space, thwarting the enemy at every turn—even within his own ranks—during the long journey home.

Alliance prisoners of war are being held at a labor camp in the Heradao Star System, which also happens to be the location of the majority of the surviving Syndic warships. Determined not to leave any of his people behind, Black Jack Geary orders the fleet to strike hard and fast to rescue the POWs with minimal Alliance losses.

The raid is successful, but victory is short-lived. Geary discovers that the Syndics plan to ambush the fleet with their powerful reserve flotilla in an attempt to annihilate it once and for all—but he doesn’t know where the enemy is located.

And as Geary has the fleet jump from one star system to the next, hoping to avoid the inevitable confrontation, saboteurs contribute to the chaos …

just keeps getting better

Every new book in the series is better than the last. If anyone has read prior book in the "Lost Fleet" series and is on the fence about buying the next book, just do it.

Just Have Sex...Please

Here we go again. I really like this series and listen to it every few months. Some scenes I listen to again and again because I know they drive me nuts. Why, because once in a while everyone needs to role a sanity check. I am totally convinced that Campbell learned everything he knows about romantic relationships from the book his Mother read to him when he was little Jackie, "How does Billy Tell Bridget he wants to get laid".

Good, but...

Ultimately satisfied with the continuation of the lost fleet. I hated the first chapter of just narrative between Dijonay and Geery. Lots of battle descriptions in this. Also voice changes for Dijonay and Rheone, very slight though. And start pronunciation changes. My military mind couldn't handle that.

Ugh - it got worse

I couldn't think how this series could get worse, but it did.

As I have said in previous reviews, the Narrator is awesome.  The rest is a hot mess.  I got all of these on a major sale.   Even still, a waste of money.  

"Captain" John Geary reveals he's a weak, poor excuse for a man, much less a commanding officer.  He was going downhill in previous iterations.  This books starts off with him emasculated by his executive officer.  No officer could be this weak, or accept such behavior from a junior officer,  and still maintain the respect and authority necessary to lead and command a fleet.  Then it gets worse as this supposed "commander" is treated like a child through the rest of the story.

From hero to cuck

Tiring listening to the hero constantly whining and subordinate officer bitching at him. Who is in command?
