Book Reviews of Courageous (The Lost Fleet, Book 3)
Book Review: The Saga Continues
Summary: 5 Stars
Courageous (The Lost Fleet, Book 3) continues the action, suspense, and great battle sequences of the first two books in the series, while expanding the characterizations to a new level. It's another great read.
Can't wait to devour Book 4!!!

Summary: 4 Stars
This is my first space opera series and it was fun. The premise is good, excellent. My complaint is in the extreme irritation in an author who continues to repeat sections via wholesale cut and paste. It is almost as though 20% of the book feels as though its a repeat. I find myself rolling my eyes. The characters who whine is ridiculous. The hero who is not asserting leadership and lets knuckleheads walk over him is ridiculous. The author who produces cardboard love scenes so stiff they could break like uncooked spaghetti is kinda amusing but I give him a wave for trying. It feels he was commanded to do so by his publisher.
The battle scenes were extra long. The bitchout sessions by his lover were getting tedious. This was not going in a positive direction at all by books end.
On a scale 1 to 5, Five is Best:
Villian: 4
Plot: 3
Creativity: 3
Uniqueness: 2.5
Humor: 1
Bringing the sexy: 0
Passion: 3 stars (for duty & honor )
Dullness setting in on Series: 3
Laughs & Amusement factor: 1
Silly Whiners getting on your nerves: 5
Lazy Author repeating too much from prior chapters: 5
The investment has been made now and I want to know what is going to happen next. I bought the first 3 as as books on tape (audiobooks). Now that I know the author has been a little lazy, I will not invest in an audiobook on book #4. I will buy that as paperback because I do want to know what happened but not at $24.00.
If the pattern continues, there will be a lot of cut and paste, not a lot of plot advancement and the characters chasing their tails and not going anywhere except someplace pretty durn depressing.
For that I can read in an afternoon in Barnes and Noble and not even buy the paperback for #4.
