Admiral Geary’s First Fleet of the Alliance has survived the journey deep into unexplored interstellar space, a voyage that led to the discovery of new alien species, including a new enemy and a possible ally. Now Geary’s mission is to ensure the safety of the Midway Star System, which has revolted against the Syndicate Worlds empire—an empire that is on the brink of collapse.

To complicate matters further, Geary also needs to return safely to Alliance space not only with representatives of the Dancers, an alien species, but also with Invincible, a captured warship that could possibly be the most valuable object in human history. Despite the peace treaty that Geary must adhere to at all costs, the Syndicate Worlds regime threatens to make the fleet’s journey back grueling and perilous.

And even if Geary escorts Invincible and the Dancers’ representatives home unharmed, the Syndics’ attempts to spread dissent and political unrest may have already sown the seeds of the Alliance’s destruction...

A Good Addition to the Series, But Not The Best

May 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

A good book, but one of my least favorites in the series. The first third of the book was a difficult read. The dialogue seemed disjointed at times and the prose difficult to get through. It didn't flow naturally. For example, the various meetings that Geary has with the politicians that accompanied his team to Earth had dialogue that seemed stilted and repetitive, and frankly didn't add too much to what we already knew about the politicians of the Alliance.

Once Campbell found himself dealing with matters that needed fixing by Geary, whether it was combat or personal interaction, the book picked up. Geary grows as a leader, using his ideals and conduct that seems "old fashioned" persuade people to take the "right" action, rather than the self-interested action. There's a bit of cartoonish general in the book that embodies the worst of the career bureaucrat that Geary neutralizes nicely.

One complaint I have about the book - it felt a bit like filler in the series. We've been told that there are forces in the Alliance that are being built to confront Geary and keep his influence in check, and that there is a leader waiting in the background to lead those forces. We don't see any of this in the book until nearly the end. The entire book is a bit of a set-up to perhaps a significant confrontation in the next book. While the story developed the main character, it felt a bit of letdown for the real showdown to be put off to at least the next volume.

One theme from the book that was clear was the author's message that a government keeping secrets against it's citizens is a government that is rotting from within. This point was hammered by Campbell so many times you have to wonder if he is making a statement about our current state of affairs. It's a theme he plays on greatly...too many secrets for the wrong reasons leading to disaster.

Looking for #6

August 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was hooked on the series when I started #1 Dauntless in the Lost Fleet series followed thru to #6 then picked up the story with the spin off Lost Stars 1-4 I really liked it and also the Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier book 1-5 of advertised 6 I enjoyed the series but now have been waiting 3 years for book #6 telling what happens after the battle at Alternate Unity when they were supposedly going to Unity with the evidence to try and fix the government and help the alliance survive. instead I see the story of Michael Geary in the syndic home system I the book #1 of the Lost Fleet: Corsair series and guess what you can't enlarge the print because of pictures for those of use that need large print WE JUST GOT SCREWED and of course no refunds for not being able to read the books and on top of that instead of a book #6 to end the Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier we get books #1&2 of the Genesis series to go back to the first Geary that starts a tradition of going above and beyond expectations in the service of the people he is entrusted with protecting, HOW ABOUT ACTUALLY FINISHING THE "LOST FLEET: BEYOND THE FRONTIER" some of us have been waiting for 3 years for the final book I bought #5 Leviathan on March 5, 2015 it is as of now Aug. 6, 2018 I would like to see book 6 before I die of old age thank you very much I will not spend another dime on your books because apparently you can't finish a series as advertised I might as well take the car to the car wash and bring it back after shampoo no rinse I would get the same feeling of satisfaction
if you didn't want to do 6 why didn't you just stop with Geary escorting the dancer back to midway checking on how they were doing to going back home and calling it a day. a 4 book series stopping there would have been better then a promised 6 book series that leaves you hanging at 6 with no conclusion
Thanks for Nothing Disgusted

Too much filler, no longer "Beyond the Frontier"

May 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

Jack Campbell continues his foray into holding off the fall of Rome as Admiral Geary is flitted between various assignments designed to stress relationships between the fleet and the government.

The character development has rather stagnated. All of the characters have grown basically as much as they will grow. All the manuevers have been used before, and all the encounters are basically rehashes of preivous battles. Even the cloak and dagger fights with the Syndics are basically reduced to raid manuevers.

I was enthusiastic for this series initially, and while the asepcts of the series that made it great are still there, its just all of the same at this point. All of the alien races that made the exploration beyond Alliance so much fun are basically gone, barring some mention and discussions about how they'll affect the society. But the story has jsut reduced to mostly political machinations and pawns being moved around the board. In the overall plot arc, this is the second book that has been a majority of repeated material
