About this listen

The Lost Fleet delivers thrilling combat on a grand space-opera scale. Now Admiral John "Black Jack" Geary embarks on a brand-new mission - to defend the Alliance from itself - in New York Times best-selling author Jack Campbell's latest action-packed novel....

Two Syndicate World star systems have fallen prey to a mysterious fleet of warships - a fleet controlled entirely by artificial intelligence - that is now targeting Alliance space. The warships are no mystery to Geary. They were developed by his government to ensure security but malfunctioned. If the Syndics learn the truth, the war with the Alliance will resume with a vengeance.

As the government attempts to conceal the existence of the AI warships - and its role in their creation - Geary pursues them, treading a fine line between mutiny and obedience. But it soon becomes clear that his fleet is no match for the firepower of the machine-piloted armada.

With the help of the Dancer species of aliens, Geary has tracked the AI ships to their secret base in the supposedly mythical Unity Alternate star system where his fleet, the last hope of the Alliance's future, will end the conflict at any cost....

When you get into this book, after all that has been written before it, you enjoy the story for the characters interaction but wonder if the plot that awaits you will be a generic combination of what you've already heard.

Nothing could be further from reality, though. This book week keep you interested till the very end. It brings a lot more emotion to the story as well, bringing the characters back from the brink with elements that are unique, while silk being rooted in the science established in previous books.

For those who have continued with this series, this book is a must and won't disappoint. for those who haven't started this series, grab Dauntless and be prepared for quite a ride.

The narration is also superb, contributing to the overall quality of this series.

Jack Campbell's most impressive yet

i haven't written any reviews for the previous books, but this ended well. I'd definitely say this is the point where the casual fans would end their reading of the series, but with a prequel and offshoot series already completed, and a second sequel series underway and the first book already released - I'm excited to continue the adventures.

A beautiful and fitting end to the lost fleet
