Product Description

Review

"The kind of hero Hornblower fans will love!" -WILLIAM C. DIETZ Praise for The Lost Fleet series: "The most believable space battles I've ever seen anywhere." -DAVID SHERMAN "Good fun." -DON D'AMMASSA "Thoughtful and exciting...loaded with edge-of-your-seat combat." -ELIZABETH MOON


Synopsis

Badly damaged and low on supplies, the Alliance Fleet is raiding Syndic mines for raw materials-and Captain "Black Jack" Geary hopes they can continue to remain one step ahead of their enemies. But the Syndics are the least of Geary's worries when he learns of the existence of aliens with the power to annihilate the human race.

3.0 out of 5 stars the fleet flies on, 25 Mar 2008
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
third in a series of science fiction novels about the lost fleet. There's an interstellar war on between two human groupings of worlds, the alliance and the syndic. the alliance space fleet are trapped behind enemy lines, and only their chance discovery of captain geary, an alliance hero of years before who was stuck in suspended animation for ages till the fleet found him, could save the day.

Can geary get the fleet home? and can he live up to the legend he's become in the meantime?

all these books run for three hundred pages. and whilst not being great literature are quite decent prose and characterisation wise.

For the first hundred pages this looked like having mid book in series syndrome, in that not much happens and things continue much as before.

However the remaining two hundred pages were really rather entertaining, as the space battles carry on in earnest, and the alliance fleet really struggle to survive. this was entertaining and engrossing reading, and the book ends on a cliffhanger that was really quite rousing and makes me desperate to know what will happen next.

I'll be back for more. the aliens promised on the back of the book are only hinted at late on. Doubtless we'll see more of them in future volumes

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a lot happens, 28 Feb 2008
By M. R. Parashchak "ozwaldo" (Rochdale) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I guess if you read book four when it comes out never having read this book (book 3)you would not even notice. Where are these aliens then? A great disappointment

3.0 out of 5 stars Unpretentious, 14 Sep 2008
By bob (uk) - See all my reviews
I once saw a company report which had pictures of employees and managers throughout. Oddly, only the managers seemed to have names. Courageous is a bit like that. The principle characters all have identities, but everyone else is a cipher. For example, the bridge crew of Dauntless are interchangeable 'watch standers'. The losses of the ships and their casualties appear unreal. That said, the story is a good yarn which does not pretend to real psychology. It does keep you interested, although the battles can become a bit alike. I think it is the concept of mystery being slowly revealed (very slowly), that keep readers coming back.

Really good, enjoyed this no end and now bought the other three books - fast paced and enjoyable.
