Description

"The Alliance woke Captain John "Black Jack" Geary from cryogenic sleep to take command of the fleet in the century-long conflict against the Syndicate Worlds. Now Admiral Geary's victory has earned him the adoration of the people--and the enmity of politicians convinced that a living hero can be a very inconvenient thing. The war may be over, but Geary and his newly christened First Fleet have been ordered back into action to investigate the aliens occupying the far side of Syndic space and to determinehow much of a threat they represent to the Alliance. And while the Syndic Worlds are no longer united, individually they may be more dangerous than ever before. Geary knows that members of the military high command and the government question his loyaltyto the Alliance and fear his staging a coup--so he can't help but wonder if the fleet is being deliberately sent on a suicide mission.."--

Publisher's Weekly Review

Campbell combines the best parts of military SF and grand space opera to launch a new adventure series. After winning the war for the Alliance in Campbell's first Lost Fleet series, Adm. John "Black Jack" Geary is in command of the newly formed First Fleet. Geary's popularity is cause for concern among the political minders of the Alliance, however, and the First Fleet is ordered into alien territory, where its mission is sabotaged by overbearing orders and substandard equipment. Campbell takes his time getting the story going, focusing on the military and political mechanics of the Fleet getting underway, but eventually Geary and the Fleet are encouraged to leave Alliance space and voyage to alien realms. Geary's Star Trek-like mission of exploration sets the fleet up for plenty of exciting discoveries and escapades. (May) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
