Not nearly as impressive as reviews would lead you to believe
"Campbell"'s novel is a thin volume that was interesting enough to finish but nowhere near as good as other SF novels I've read recently. I understand that "Campbell" is a pseudonym for a published author, and I think that's unfortunate. I don't...

Scifi rules
I will put this simple. The trilogy and one more due out in June 08 is one of the best I have read. It is very difficult to put down. In other words, get all three and wait for the fourth to come out.

A decent start
I saw this one on the list for Sci-fi while waiting for my kindle. Looked interesting and I decided to sample it. I liked it enough to buy it and was fairly well pleased. Pleased enough to buy the third book for my Kindle as well. Oddly, the...

And in the beginning...
This is a well written book which most folks will enjoy. If you're looking for aliens, dragons, etc. you may want to go elsewhere. If you're looking for characterization and military type action and decision making, look no further. I love sci-fi...

Disappointing
I ordered this book after the good reviews here. Unfortunately I am deeply disappointed. The material in this book qualifies only for a good short story. The author has stretched this good essence with repetitions and dumb dialog. It is like those...

brilliant background, great protagonist, interesting hints and too much tech detail
This novel has a brilliant background setting. It put the protagonist into a position that no author has think about (maybe readers either). The protagonist and the environment have some excellent interaction. The hints about alien is also...

A Good Read - 3.5 Stars
Jack Campbell's "Dauntless (The Lost Fleet, Book 1)" is a good solid read, very entertaining and engaging. Campbell (AKA John G. Hemry) is a very capable writer, but Dauntless is not without its bumps. The writing is sometimes awkward and the...

Great military SF, a must-read for fans of this genre
I read this and Fearless back-to-back in the last day, based on their inclusion on the Amazon military-sf category. Possible some impressions of the two books will overlap onto each other, I will try to avoid this.
