Publisher's Summary

A young fleet officer and a Marine must stand together to defend their neighbors and their colony in this return to the powerful and action-packed Genesis Fleet saga from New York Times best-selling author Jack Campbell. 

The recently colonized world of Glenlyon has learned that they're stronger when they stand with other star systems than they are on their own. But after helping their neighbor Kosatka against an invasion, Glenlyon has become a target. The aggressive star systems plan to neutralize Glenlyon before striking again. 

An attack is launched against Glenlyon's orbital facility with forces too powerful for fleet officer Rob Geary to counter using their sole remaining destroyer, Saber. Mele Darcy's Marines must repel repeated assaults while their hacker tries to get into the enemy systems to give Saber a fighting chance. 

To survive, Glenlyon needs more firepower, and the only source for that is their neighbor Kosatka or other star systems that have so far remained neutral. But Kosatka is still battling the remnants of the invasion forces on its own world, and if it sends its only remaining warship to help will be left undefended against another invasion. While Carmen Ochoa fights for the freedom of Kosatka, Lochan Nakamura must survive assassins as he tries to convince other worlds to join a seemingly hopeless struggle. 

As star systems founded by people seeking freedom and autonomy, will Kosatka, Glenlyon and others be able to overcome deep suspicions of surrendering any authority to others? Will the free star systems stand together in a new Alliance, or fall alone?

Exciting

This is the third book in the Genesis Fleet Series. Jack Campbell is one of my favorite Sci-fi authors. With the invention of faster-than-light jump drives, people are moving father into the galaxy with all the complications that implies.

The book is well written. We have Campbell’s classic space battles. We also have some dilemmas to solve and the usual civilian political infighting. It is fun to learn about Black Jack Geary’s ancestors. I cannot wait for the next edition to come.

The book is nine hours and sixteen minutes. Christian Rummel does an excellent job narrating the book. Rummel is an actor and audiobook narrator. He has narrated all the various Fleet Series.

Another Winner!

Jack Campbell has another hit on his hands. Multiple plot lines that are well balanced, independently interesting, and intertwined in a manner that moves the story forward nicely. Could easily come up with a dozen more books that might carry the story forward all the way through to the List Fleet starting point.

Another trilogy

The epilogue was the rather light cherry on a weak whipped cream on a very avarage feelgood pie. Mr Rummel saved the experence for me. The trilogy gave me a kind of "St*r W*rs" prequel feel. A rushed , cash in before it spoils ending. Still, enjoyable if you're into the vibe. But alas, it didn't pan out for me like the previous books.

Top notch!

I really enjoyed the trilogy and encouraged me to take a look at the earlier books. There was good character development and the action was well done. I’d recommend it those interested in solid military sci-fi.

Very Similar Story to Ascendant

I was very excited about this prequel to the Lost Fleet Series and the first book, Vanguard, did not disappoint. However, the second book, Ascendant seemed a little rushed compared to previous books but still set up the timeline and developments for future books - so I still enjoyed it even thought it lost a little something for me in the end.

Unfortunately, Triumphant seems to be a very similar story as Ascendant, but taking place in Glenn Lion as opposed to Kosatka and that really ruined the book for me. Every few chapters I waited from some new plot twist or a surprise change of events that would make it a unique story but it never happened.

The universe Mr. Campbell has created has be a great fictional escape and I strongly recommend his previous books, but this one just simple didn't do it for me.

Satisfying Conclusion

Loved this story and how it wraps up this series background. The large cast might be confusing without familiarity with prior works, but we needed them all. Campbell manages to escape repeating himself too much. Well done.

Story teller

Well paced story, excellent narration. Individual and believable voices gave the characters a depth and personality.

I loved this series.

this was a great short series, though the epilogue disappointed me by liking into the main series, indicating its conclusion. I'd have bought and enjoyed several more volumes on the alliance's early days and the beginning of the war featured in the main series.

And the Alliance is born

Politicians are paranoid idiots, nations don't trust each other and have to learn about to trust again. At least the good guys get a happy ending.

Excellent Book

I enjoyed listening to the book, nicely paced, and I really like the snippet they added at the end. I wish there was another series of LOST FLEET.

one day

enjoyed it so much that sat down and listened to it all in one day will listen to it again well done Jack Campbell kind regards Meranda James

Just love the series

Got to be honest, sad it came to end. Now I have to wait another year for the story to continue.
It's a positive story in a world that really needs positivity!

I really hope there's more!

An exceptional read, very well delivered.

When our heroes have to defend their own home from certain defeat, will the peoples they fought to save come to their aid...

I have loved all of the Lost Fleet, Lost Stars and Genesis Fleet books. This keeps that love alive and well. I do hope there are more of these early stories. There are plenty of places to go. How will the crew of D11 rebuild and refit? What support will the politician bring back from Old Earth? Give me one more please!
