John “Black Jack” Geary returns to the Alliance Fleet from being stranded in a 100 year suspended animation aboard an escape pod.  In the years since his supposed death fighting to the end, Black Jack has been immortalized in the Alliance Fleet as a hero.  “The Lost Fleet” series of books covers his return to the fleet and assumption of fleet command after an ambush that nearly destroys them.

Jack Campbell provides a riveting storyline covering the Alliance Fleet escape from the Syndicate Fleet after the ambush.  At every turn he seems to come out on top of the Syndics bringing back the old ways of fighting with tactics instead of headlong senseless assaults on the enemy.

Dauntless, Fearless, Courageous are the first three books in the series.  Sadly at the end of Courageous I discovered it wasn’t the finality for which I was hoping.  There is yet to be another book released in April 2009 titled Relentless.  I recommend the books, but if you are hoping for a complete story line I have a feeling you’ll be waiting for the completion of another trilogy.
