Average Rating:
Rating: - Jumping Back to Go Forward...
The Lost Fleet continues to be lost in alien space.Captain Jack Geary continues to fight for his fleet's survival, against elements in his own fleet, and to maintain a balance between the perception of him as a hero and himself as a human being with human failings.
If you enjoyed the first three books, then there should be no reason not to enjoy this one.Those who want the plot to proceed more quickly may be frustrated.The fleet has returned to Lakota, where they faced a punishing ... Read More

- Miserly with plot points
This guy hoards plot points like he's gonna run out! What gives? Why the hesitation to dish out real character changes and real events? It makes the novel so monochromatic.
Waaaaaay too much repetition in this installment in what's overall a pretty good series. It just felt like the characters spent all their time in the same three rooms talking about the same three things. I don't need to read any more about the real Jack vs the mythic Jack-- unless there's something new to talk about. I ... Read More

- Starting to Drag
I agree with everyone else who said this book was a step back from the previous three.

- Great SCI FI book
This is book 4.You should read the book in order.This is the best group of books I have read in a long time. If you like non-stop action these books are for you.Well worth your money.
Rating: - Another solid sequel
If you enjoyed the previous volumes of the series you won't be disappointed.
Four star rating reflects no so much the quality of the story but the remarkable consistency starting with volume one. Don't mean the book's not good. It is. Not the best SF novel I've ever read but most certainly an entertaining read. There are a few weak points like excessive soul searching and self disparaging discourses on the main protagonists part that sometimes were rather tiresome overall pretty solid job I'd say. ...
