Book Reviews of Courageous (The Lost Fleet, Book 3)
Book Review: Tired of waiting for real revalations
Summary: 3 Stars
I do like to read these books. However how many space battles do we need to have... it's getting tedious. Further, how many more commander conferences will we have to endure. That's basically almost all the book has to offer except for some minor interpersonal relationships.
The author needs to get to the point - I will not ruin the plotline for people but there is one out there that I'm looking foward to getting more information about. But I don't want to read 4 more novels of space battles to get there..
Book Review: just short of 5 stars
Summary: 4 Stars
So far the best book in the series. I would recommend reading this series in order though. It starts out with a nagging familiarity to the first 2 books but suddenly takes a turn and winds up with a real cliff hanger ending.
Interpersonal relationships become more important and John shows that he too can be depressed and uncertain.
Some good humor as what would you call a gadget with an acronym MMU which grazes in minerals but a moo moo or cow.
Overall outstanding read.
Book Review: ruffled around the edges
Summary: 5 Stars
Though extremly well written and graphically depicted beyond all expectations, i did find that much of what happens in the book must be simply accepted. For instance, HOW BIG are some of these ships, compared to actual objects, foot ball stadium? and is there artificial gravity or do they float around inside the ships. What's the propulsion system? does it have a name, is it gravity fed, ect, ect... Though these questions seem incredibly important, the books seem to glance off of the implied incredibly well.Book Review: An exciting romp in space
Summary: 5 Stars
This isn't a long book (6-8 hour read if you don't read straight through it) but it is a great book for a commute or just a fun read.
No deep intellectual commentary, no overblown character development, just good old fashioned space opera style fun.
I love these books for everything they are. Don't go into it expect Neal Stephenson. Jack Campbell writes an exciting story where my only complaint is that it is too short!
I already have the next one on preorder. Thank you Mr Campbell!
Book Review: Always keeps you hooked.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read the first 4 (out of 5) in the series. What a great series! Excellent plot and character development, a lot of action without being inundated with detail.
The author creates a very real "space navy" complete with hierarchy, customs, tactics, history in enough detail to make it almost seem real. It's like a fictional Tom Clancy novel if he were to draw his characters and details from and existing space faring navy at war.
Highly recommended. I can't put them down.
