Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
The Lost Fleet continues its perilous journey home.

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.



Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Dreadful, Boring and repetitive
I bought books 2, 3 and 4 in this series after really enjoying the 1st book.

Book 3 introduced so much repetition, continually stating information that had already been stated again and again and again I had a real problem getting through it. Also the continued distrust of the co-president and other fleet officers was pretty difficult to believe after he had saved their lives so many times.

This is a book wasted an hour or two of my life. I couldn't wait to get to the end of book 2 and book 3 I just threw away after 20-30 pages of the same repitition. Really don't waste your time or money. This book is just a money making machine it could have been written by a computer.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Not Bad
The third book in this series is "good", not a "can't put it down" like the very first two, but still good. Cannot wait until #4 is out!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Solid Sci Fi - good vacation read
Quick paced sci-fi - what I'd call a good book for taking on a vacation. Great space battles.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - 287 pages of catfight + one and a half chapters of story
I wrote in my review for Fearless that Victoria Rione cost that book a star. Well, I barely clawed my way through this book because of her and the head-butting she's doing with Capt. Desjani. As far as I knew, I was buying a novel about space combat, not poorly executed romance novel.

I keep waiting for Rione to get sucked out an airlock. Or, better yet, get the stuffing knocked out of her by Capt. Desjani.

My guess is that the author locked into a six book contract and didn't have anything planned for number three, hence Courageous.

I was ready to throw in the towel on this series, until the happenings on page 288. It's my hope that this was just a blip in an otherwise good series. I'm looking forward to #4, where hopefully there's a whole lot of Syndic a-- kicking.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - fun, but beginning to be repetitive
So far this is the weakest of the series. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the genre as a whole and in particular this series, but the sheer repetitiveness is starting to drag. There are descriptions of tactics and 'physics' that are lifted wholescale- cut and paste style- from the very first and second books. It really bogs down the pace. Also, the relationships seem forced, as if Campbell had been told he had to have a romantic interest and so put one in to satisfy the publisher, not because it served the story. Even with those weaknesses I rated the book as a 4 star because the ending really had me excited to read the subsequent book.
