Product Description:
The Alliance has been fighting the Syndic for a century-and losing badly. Now its fleet is crippled and stranded in enemy territory. Their only hope is Captain John "Black Jack" Geary-a man who's emerged from a century-long hibernation to find he has been heroically idealized beyond belief. Now, he must live up to his own legend.

Light, fast and satisfying.
An enjoyable romp. Not as dark as much recent Space Opera has been (I'm looking at you, Banks and Reynolds). More on the military side of the street, this book follows John "Black Jack" Geary, a historical captain found in a lifepod a century after his time. He's rescued by his own fleet and find that things have not changed much since he left. The same war continues and his people are still in it.

He also finds that the 100 year war has changed military tactics and attitudes ... Read More

I'm nearly done with the fourth book, Valiant, and I'm so disappointed that it is going to be over soon. I can't believe I have to wait until 4/2009 for the next in the series...
If you are into space battle-like sci-fi, you owe it to yourself ... Read More

Whenever I try a new series, especially in sci-fi, I am always a little nervous about the content. I love sci-fi, but sometimes the books just aren't what you'd expect. I am pleased to say that this book was clean enough to be read by teenagers but still written in a way that could appeal to adults.
This book reminds me a bit of the success of the Law and Order and CSI TV shows that could draw in a viewer but kept some normalcy by admitting that cops, forensic experts, and prosecutors don't ... Read More
