- lost fleet book4
The Lost Fleet: Valiant (Unabridged) A great book to read just not long enough.
Rating: - Continuation of a steady and successful plot
Book four takes off where book three left the reader. The Lost Fleet had just left a tolling battle in the Lakota system through a jump to the Ixion system, only to decide to surprise the Syndic battle group as they pull a u-turn and return to the Lakota system.

The story could be more interesting--it should have moved along much farther. One or two star system battles would have been sufficient. That said, I'll probably continue to the next book, but I hope that one wraps up ... Read More
Rating: - Dragging...get on with it!!!
I gave this book 2 stars because of the previous 3 books which have been entertaining and well written.This book has several main flaws:
1) Campbell is a military writer and should stick with it.His love triangle is beyond annoying and is distracting from the story.I had to flip through about 25% of the book because of this awful, awful, section
2) Nothing new... .each of the previous book seem to be moving the story along but this one has a case of Jordanitis (the late ... Read More
