This was a wonderful and fasinating sequel to the series. Reading the very first one gave me a bad impression of this series. After reading this, my opinons and intrests have completed fliped over. There is so much more action and subjects going on the story. Overall, this a great sci-fi thriller and would reccomend this book to anyone with sci-fi intrests.

I have read the series and am awaiting the subsequent installation due out this summer (08). Not going to go into detail, just trust me on this one. Awesome book!

Campbell can write. This is not so much sci-fi as it is just a good military adventure story set in space. Concerns fleet commander, lengendary "Black Jack Geary" who's forced back into command after being found in deep space adrift in an escape pod after a century of "sleep" so to speak. Campbell can write, and anyone who enjoys a good military yarn, be it with Horatio Hornblower or Teddy Roosevelt in charge, will enjoy the on-going trials and tribulations of Campbells character. This is the second in the trilogy and I can only hope there's more to follow.

Jack Campbell offers readers two great reasons to love this book (and the entire Lost Fleet series): unique space combat and an interesting hero.
Campbell's battles resemble ponderous navel engagements rather than high-flying dogfights. Governed by the laws of physics, the action is unlike anything I've seen or read before in the genre.
The protagonist, John "Black Jack" Geary is a man out of time, revived after 100 years in suspended animation. Now he must lead a fleet of ships trapped behind enemy lines and struggling to survive. The author gives us acess Geary's innermost thoughts and fears and questions, creating a compelling character.
The book moves quickly and while this book is entertaining in its own right, one can sense that bigger and better things are to come.

I admit I'm just a dilettante when it comes to knowing anything about battles or the military, but I do enjoy reading military SF, and I enjoy reading this series so far.
It has the initial, intriguing situation of a legendary hero seeming to come back from the dead (or rather life-suspension for a century in a damaged escape pod), just as the Alliance Fleet has been lured into enemy territory and a trap that wipes out the commanding officers, leaving Captain "Black Jack" Geary in command.
This second installment continues the story. It, like the very first book, ends in a good place. Yes, they are NOT home yet... they are still the Lost Fleet of the title, but the story arc is there and I found it very satisfying. While continuing to try and save the Fleet, against great odds, continuing to try to establish confidence in his command (and his own self-confidence), another conflict arises in the figure of a rescued POW--Captain Falco, a famous hero whose situation seems to echo Geary's own, and a man who expects to take up his former place as leader of Alliance ships...
Personally, I wouldn't mind if this series is dragged out forever at this rate. I am in for the long-haul and enjoying the ride.
