Well written with some technical aspects of space combat thrown in to make you think. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for space combat with a great storyline.

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.
