Book Reviews of Fearless (The Lost Fleet, Book 2)
Book Review: What a delight!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my great regrets is that C.S. Forester died after only penning about a dozen Horatio Hornblower books.
Fortunately, Jack Campbell appears to be able to channel CSF.
As a young fan of Star Trek back in the 60's, I often heard James Kirk called a "Horatio Hornblower in a starship." Pah. Black Jack Geary, Campbell's hero in this book and its predecessor, is THE stuff.
If you like "fish out of water" stories, this book is for you. If you like naval strategy stories, this book is for you. If you just plain enjoy a rip-snortin' tale, this book is for you.
Now, if Campbell would just finish the third book...
Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I consider myself a avid reader and am a fan of the Honor Harrington series I own them all. I compare this book to that series in the space battles are somewhat similar, so if you enjoyed the space battles in the Honor books this will fit right in. But other then the battles being similar this series rocks! This series is so fast paced its very hard to put down, I loaned my first two books to a couple Honor fans and they have since purchased their own copies and like me are eagerly awaiting the new novel. If you like good sci-fi give this series a try, the main character is believable and his faults and strengths are highly likeable.Book Review: Exciting Science Fiction Naval Combat
Summary: 5 Stars
An exciting book that I couldn't put down! The author keeps the story moving swiftly through intense battle scenes and continuous challenges to the leadership of the Fleet commander. Captain John Geary is embattled on all sides, fighting a bitter enemy known as the Syndicate, struggling with mutinous members within his own fleet and feuding with an icy, female, political leader on his own flagship. This book is filled with great descriptions of space battles and is a great study in the challenges of leadership. A must read for any fan who enjoys Naval action!Book Review: Well written!
Summary: 5 Stars
Campbell can write. This is not so much sci-fi as it is just a good military adventure story set in space. Concerns fleet commander, lengendary "Black Jack Geary" who's forced back into command after being found in deep space adrift in an escape pod after a century of "sleep" so to speak. Campbell can write, and anyone who enjoys a good military yarn, be it with Horatio Hornblower or Teddy Roosevelt in charge, will enjoy the on-going trials and tribulations of Campbells character. This is the second in the trilogy and I can only hope there's more to follow.Book Review: Military Sci-Fi at its Best ... and Getting Better!
Summary: 5 Stars
If I could give this novel 6 stars, I would. Like its prequel ("THE LOST FLEET: DAUNTLESS"), "THE LOST FLEET: FEARLESS" delivers drama and action in spades. This novel is, I believe, the better of the two novels because Jack Campbell (the author) really begins to define and develop the primary characters, and he gives us a major hint about the real motive(s) behind the Alliance/Syndicate War. I cannot wait for "COURAGEOUS" to come out in autumn 2007! As I recommended with my review for "DAUNTLESS", if you like this genre of fiction, read this book!
