Better than average
Fighting a battle in space at enormous distances creates unique problems. I like the way our hero handles the information delays caused by the speed of light. (What about time differences while traviling through sub-space?) Will he and the...

Outstanding book in the tradition of C.S. Forester
This series follows in the best tradition of C.S. Forester and his "The Good Shepherd" novel. Yes, you don't have mindless action throughout the novel but you do get in the mind of a commander and see the reasoning behind the actions and...

Prepare for the Ultimate Adventure!

Great Idea, Poor Realization
I really liked what this book could be...but the concepts that make this universe interesting are never realized.

Great Story, Truly Lousy Writing
It's awful being an SF addict. This book begins the very kind of story that I love: giant fleet actions, terrible odds, heroic crap - it's all there. But the prose is wooden, the dialog is terrible, the characters are ill-defined and...

Great stuff, just a little short
The book itself is excellent, draws you in to the story. It's very short, though. Instead of splitting these into 6 very short "volumes", they could have been 3 average sized ones.

The Lost Fleet Dauntless
The book itself was interesting and forthcoming. Although the book would of been better if it had contained much more science fiction taste than military and war type tasteing. The battles were a bit to overaggagerated and to my opinion a bit...
