second in a trilogy of books [dauntless, fearless, courageous] about the exploits of the lost fleet. in a space war between the good alliance and the nasty syndic, a fleet belonging to the former is lost behind enemy lines. their only chance of getting home? captain john 'black jack' geary, a man rescued from suspended animation a century after the first battle of the war. he's become a legend in the meantime. can he live up to it? deal with mutinous subordinates? scheming politicans? and get the fleet home?
this is not really a trilogy to come in on the middle of so start with volume one first. the writing in both of them is much the same. It's not great literature, but it's a little better than average and not as bad as it could be, and it does try to give depth to it's characters and explore strong themes of duty and what people become during wartime. All these books are a little under three hundred pages so they're short and easy reading. the space combat tries to be realistic and within the laws of physics.
And when reading this, you know what I kept feeling? the desire to know what would happen next. so the writer has done their job. entertaining pulp science fiction

Hur beräknas betyg?
För att beräkna det totala stjärnbetyget och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna använder vi inte ett enkelt medelvärde. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

Great addition to the Lost Fleet series
Granskad i Storbritannien den 18 april 2015Verifierat köp
Can't believe that it has taken me so long to write this review, as it took me only a couple of days to read Fearless! If you've read book 1 - Dauntless - then you'll know what to expect: exciting space battles, an expansive conflict between two human species, and the hint of an alien race...
Fearless follows in the same vein as Dauntless, continuing Black Jack Geary's crusade across the Syndicate Worlds towards the Alliance. Black Jack might be the voice of reason, but this time he faces dissent from within the fleet - specifically, a challenger to his leadership. Jack Campbell handles this well, and I ended up feeling some sympathy towards the usurper. There are also more hints of possible alien intelligence - but no direct evidence just yet! - so I'm definitely planning on reading on for more on this.

The delivery from Amazon was free and very quick, packing was simple but effective.
This was a must have after book 1. The series is very addictive and I am now awaiting the delivery of book 6. The story line is interesting with the development of the main characters and their take on life. The build up to the battles and description of them is very good. The future technology is thousands of years on but the writing is kept realistic. The book has few chapters so hours can slip by, a good light read.

Ripping yarns
Granskad i Storbritannien den 18 maj 2016Verifierat köp
Great adventure yarns and although it is easy to accept the amazing science and improbable characters there is a lack of respect for the laws of physics which can grate a bit. What is wrong with inertia? Why is it ignored so often?

A good read for sci-fi addicts
Granskad i Storbritannien den 15 december 2013Verifierat köp
I've enjoyed both the first and the second book in this series. The book is well paced and holds the attention. It will be interesting to see if this can be maintained without changing the style. Its not great literature, nor in the same league as something like 'Dune' - but still a worthwhile read when you don't want anything more than to relax in the evening.
