The Alliance has been fighting the Syndics for a century, and losing badly. Now its fleet is crippled and stranded in enemy territory. Their only hope is a man who has emerged from a century-long hibernation to find he has been heroically idealized beyond belief. Captain John "Black Jack" Geary's legendary exploits are known to every schoolchild. Revered for his heroic "last stand" in the early days of the war, he was presumed dead. But a century later, Geary miraculously returns from survival hibernation and reluctantly takes command of the Alliance fleet as it faces annihilation by the Syndics. Appalled by the hero-worship around him, Geary is nevertheless a man who will do his duty. And he knows that bringing the stolen Syndic hypernet key safely home is the Alliance's one chance to win the war. But to do that, Geary will have to live up to the impossibly heroic "Black Jack" legend.

This review is from: Dauntless (The Lost Fleet Series) (Audio CD)
This series of books is written by an exceptional writer who makes it easy to understand
and makes believable the warfare in space by massive fleets of ships and the men and women who serves on them. The author introduces us to the main character, Captain John "Black Jack" Geary, who is picked up by an Alliance Fleet after 100 years in hibernation and is dropped into a new (for him) world where the war that started in his time has been raging for 100 years. By accident, he is given command of the Alliance Fleet when all the leaders of the Fleet are killed by the enemy, Syndics, and so begins his adventure. In this book, Captain Geary takes charge of the Alliance Fleet and tries to fight his way through the Syndic territory. In my opinion, the character development is exceptional, the author makes you want to care about his characters, especially John, who is thrown into a world he trying to understand and where everything he knows is gone; and the dialogue is human and very believable, and you can easily connect with the character. Tanya Desjani, Rione and Roberto Duellos are also central characters in this story.
