3 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first two.   February 9, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book, third in the series, seems a little forced. The relationships between Geary, Rione and Desjani are starting to get a little tedious, and some of the dialogue made me want to pull my hair out. I kept waiting for some new plot element to emerge, but I was disappointed until the very end of the book when we get a hint about the mysterious aliens.

I'll read the fourth book when it comes out, but if it's like this one, I'll be done with Captain "Black Jack" Geary.



3 out of 5 stars Tired of waiting for real revalations   February 8, 2008

I do like to read these books. However how many space battles do we need to have... it's getting tedious. Further, how many more commander conferences will we have to endure. That's basically almost all the book has to offer except for some minor interpersonal relationships.

The author needs to get to the point - I will not ruin the plotline for people but there is one out there that I'm looking foward to getting more information about. But I don't want to read 4 more novels of space battles to get there..



3 out of 5 stars Book 3 and 4 should've been book 3   January 30, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

The first and second installments of this plot line were incredible, but the latest chapter in the Lost Fleet series seemed to drag along like a dying bovine. Captain Geary is still submerged in the political warfare and logistical nightmare of being stranded behind enemy lines. And to make matters worse, the Syndicate, enemies of Black Jack Geary's Alliance, has wizened from the rag-tag group he initially encountered, and are quickly relearning the lessons of wars past.

The possibility of a third party operating behind the scenes was what had me eager for this volume, but that is addressed in only the most passing sense. The plot is essentially a rehash of the first volume, and has many if not nearly all the elements from both volume 1 and 2. While certain new threads are introduced, this entry did little more than move pieces around a board, rather than have any actual play.



2 out of 5 stars Weakest of the Series   January 23, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have really enjoyed the series so far and looked forward to new releases. The premise is interesting and the execution is fairly unique. What I didn't like about this installment is that it hardly advances the storyline at all. Cutting out the entire middle section would have been a great improvement. I'm very sorry to say that, but its true. Instead, the middle hashes, rehashes, superhashes the same old hash we've dealt with earlier in this book as well as the other books. I literally screamed at it several times. And don't even get me started on the "ending." The book stops in mid-battle.

I'm not ready to give up on the series. I like the first two books a lot. This one, however, could be skipped and you probably wouldn't notice.



4 out of 5 stars Good series   January 22, 2008

This series just keeps on delivering.
It's fast paced and keeps you interested. I look forward very much to the next installment and can't wait until it comes out.
Good military sci-fi.
