 Great Series, naval action and Sci Fi at its best August 11, 2008

I love this series, its a good read and great characters. I am enjoying the new novel in the series "Valiant" but I don't want to read to fast becuase I don't know when the next one will be published. Black Jack Geary is a mix between Kirk and Picard (Star Trek fame).
 Losing its way August 8, 2008
I was looking forward to this as the series has kept my interest so far, but now it seems to be rehashing the previous plots. Did anything new happen?
Do we not see the plots of the previous books,
Flee from the enemy, can't seem to shake them, have a battle, survive, find a new idea based on an old idea, have plotters and detractors, fight the feelings of love...
This book didn't move enough of the overall plot. Perhaps Campbell got a multi book deal and is stretching it.
Very enjoyable!! August 3, 2008

I enjoy these types of books. The waiting for the next one is painful however.
Good books, getting a bit predictable, but that's ok for mindless enjoyment.
I would also check out Helforts war.
Very Engaging Series July 31, 2008
I have read the first four books of this series and I must say that it is a very engaging story. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy passing time with a little sci-fi reading as I do.
I do feel a little bogged down at times from the naming of all the classes, names, etc. etc. of all the different war ships. The author clearly enjoys this idea and talking about the details of this fleet and it makes a very interesting backdrop for a story, but it can get a bit tedious.
The underlying series background story about the mysterious alien race that has been conjectured to exist is one of the aspects of these books that I find especially interesting.
The internal struggle of the main character, I think, is well handled as well.
I look forward to the next installment
An Enjoyable Example of Space Opera in its Classic Form! July 25, 2008
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I've enjoyed each novel in the Lost Fleet Series and was not disappointed by this addition to the lineup!
Despite some of the negative reviews, I did not find the repetition of information annoying or the manner in which Campbell deals with Geary's love interests. This is a serialized Space Opera!!! As such, Campbell is absolutely faithful to the genre.
Its interesting, but some of the negative reviews have expressed complaints about previous novels in the series and complain that those flaws still exist in the current novel. Yet, these reviewers still bought and read "Valiant" and I bet most of them will buy the next in the series! Why? Because Campbell tells a good story! Also, he takes the time to think through the tactics and strategy of space battles and campaigns. Campbell's novels are lots of fun to read and provide a worthy diversion from our everyday lives.
This is also my first "Lost Fleet" book purchased for my Kindle: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device. It was formatted perfectly and was an enjoyable way to experience the current novel. It took several weeks after the release of the paperback version before they released the electronic version. Hopefully, future novels will be aligned better. No reason the electronic version should not come out at the same time as the hardback or paperback versions. Baen books typically release an electronic version a few months PRIOR to the release of the paper version.
