Mr. Campbell, whom I discovered is actually John G. Henry, is able to portray future fleet-to-fleet space combat on a grand scale with style and brevity. And Mr. Campbell does this while bringing to the fore its inherent eccentricities and idiosyncrasies better than other sci-fi writers and a number of nautical warfare writers I’ve come across. I impatiently await my next opportunity to crack open his succeeding novel. I love this series. One of the few series to showcase was could be realistic space battles. If you like military SF at all, you should be reading this series. After a century of war with the Sydicated Worlds, the Alliance fleet, led by the reluctantly legendary Captain "Black Jack" Geary, is trapped deep in enemy territory, trying desperately to get home with technology that could finally win the war. If they fail, the Alliance is left with no defenses to speak of. This is the third book. Don't start here, start at the beginning. A bit repetitive compared to the first two books, this is still a good example of 'space opera' type science fiction. Jack Geary is still trying to get the fleet under control, and gradually succeeding, but their circumstances gradually get worse. no reviews | add a review

But when I started reading this I felt no real interest in the characters anymore.
The only thing I wanted was to get to the finish as quick as possible so I could see if anything new happened.
It really felt like I read this in the last two books..
But if you really are in to space warfare, this is the series to read. And don't get tired of repeating action, time after time.. (
