In the e-mail: Rendezvous with Corsair: A Lost Fleet Collection.

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.

In the e-mail: Yet *another* goddamned spectacular Jack Campbell novel.

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.

Book of the Week: The Lost Fleet: Dauntless.

I don’t care if I’ve done it before. I said Dauntless, and I mean it. I’ve spent the last week rereading The Lost Fleet, going from one book to the other in the literary equivalent of chain-smoking.

Short version: hoo, boy, these were fun. I kind of wish that I had read them earlier; but then what would I have been reading over the last two weeks?  My reaction, by series: Continue reading Just finished the first three series in Jack Campbell’s The Lost Fleet.

The Lost Fleet
[The Day After Ragnarok]

Most of the post-Serpentfall world has more or less forgotten about the Battle for the Atlantic. There are several good reasons for this: first off, that particular battle had been effectively over prior to the sudden end of the world, which meant that most of the heavy ships of the Allies had been already diverted to the Pacific theater — and that the naval forces of the Axis had largely ceased to exist. What naval forces did remain in the Atlantic are generally assumed to have been lost in the mega-tsunami that destroyed the American East Coast; certainly almost none of them later reported in. And, of course, the North Atlantic is now a watery deathtrap of rogue icebergs, expanding ice cap, and bitter cold. If any ships did survive, they would now be crewed by ghosts.
