I was happy to finally get down to finishing Jack Campbell’s time-travel-second-chance novel In Our Stars. It’s just that it was under very unfortunate circumstances (the con is going poorly). Oh, well. At least it was a good distraction.
…Oh. I did it already. Yeah, it’s been that kind of day.
Oh, great. In Our Stars. It’s gonna yet another goddam spectacular Jack Campbell novel. … and I have to say that so many times about his books, the joke’s getting stale.

Oh, look. In Our Stars. It’s going to be yet another God-damned spectacular Jack Campbell novel*.
Yay.

Rendezvous with Corsair: A Lost Fleet Collection (The Lost Fleet) is an odd mix of a novella about Black Jack Geary’s great-great-[more greats]-nephew Michael; a couple of stories about Black Jack himself; and a couple more framing stories about the war between the Alliance and the Syndics. It’s not exactly introductory material, is what I’m saying.
It’s all good stuff, mind you. But the collection does assume you’ve already read both the Lost Fleet and Lost Fleet: Outlands series.
So, you know. Like, go do that.

He’s doing it at this point simply to taunt me, I’m telling you. That damned Jack Campbell and that damned Black Jack Geary and his precious Lost Fleet, always making it look effortless. Making me pay fifteen bucks to get the book right away, too. Just to rub it in.
…Damn you, Ace Books. Damn you for knowing I’ll preorder the Kindle version of Implacable at paperback prices. And damn you (much less forgivably) for not giving Jack Campbell more of it.

Resolute (The Lost Fleet: Outlands Book 2)? Meh. Just another goram spectacular Jack Campbell Lost Fleet novel.
PS: JUSTICE FOR ENSIGN DUCK.

I don’t want to reward the publishing company’s bad behavior by pre-ordering the Kindle for Boundless (The Lost Fleet: Outlands Book 1) for fifteen bucks. I truly do not. But… new Black Jack series by Jack Campbell, damn their eyes. I’m stuck.
Bastards.
Dagnabbit, Jack Campbell. Yes, you know you can charge fifteen bucks for the Kindle version of Boundless. But do you need to prove it?
Oh, well, maybe they’ll reduce the price later. It’s preorder, after all.
Time to get on the Jack Campbell merry-go-round again. I dunno how I missed Explorer of the Endless Sea (second in the Empress of the Endless Sea series) when it first hit Kindle, but I did. Rectifying that error now.
