If You Like Jack Campbell Books, You’ll Love…
The first Lost Fleet book is Lost Fleet: Dauntless. Captain John “Black Jack” Geary is a legendary character that is taught to children as a war hero, back from the early days of the war. Long thought dead, Geary returns from the dead a century later. Geary was in survival hibernation all this time and now he’ll need to take command of the Alliance Fleet as it faces annihilation by the Syndic. He feels weird being revered as a hero, but he’ll have to use that reputation to his advantage and prove he’s worthy of it, if he is going to win this war.
The Lost Fleet: Fearless is the second book in the series. The war continues in this book as Geary feels that an attack from the Syndic is imminent. In order to keep his people alive and hopefully finish this war, he must do the unexpected: go on the offensive. Geary orders the fleet to the Sancere system, but a tired crew will balk at the idea. The crew will need to get on the same page before the end of the war comes at their expense.
