THE LOST FLEET: FEARLESS
“Straightforward, solidly written military space opera…It’s all good fun, and Campbell has actually given some thought to the problems of combat in space.”
– Don D’Ammassa, author of
Encyclopedia of Fantasy and Horror Fiction
“Another satisfying [Campbell] cocktail to slake the thirst of fans who like their space operas with a refreshing moral and an intellectual chaser…The Lost Fleet deserves to find a home on your bookshelf.”
– SF Reviews.net
“A great and gripping read. It’s a fast-paced roller coaster of action and intrigue, with realistic characters and situations.”
– TCM Reviews
Praise for
THE LOST FLEET: DAUNTLESS
“A rousing adventure.”
– William C. Dietz, national bestselling author of When All Seems Lost
“Jack Campbell’s dazzling new series is military science fiction at its best. Not only does he tell a yarn of great adventure and action, but he also develops the characters with satisfying depth. I thoroughly enjoyed this rip-roaring read, and I can hardly wait for the next book.”
– Catherine Asaro, Nebula Award-winning author of The Fire Opal
“Black Jack Geary is very real, very human, and so compelling he’ll leave you wanting more. Jack Campbell knows fleet actions, and it shows…[The Lost Fleet: Dauntless is] the best novel of its type that I’ve read.”
– David Sherman, coauthor of the Starfist series
“A slam-bang good read that kept me up at night…a solid, thoughtful, and exciting novel loaded with edge-of-your-seat combat.”
– Elizabeth Moon, Nebula Award-winning author of Command Decision
“[Dauntless] should please many fans of old-fashioned hard SF.”
– Sci Fi Weekly
“Readers will admire and like [Geary], who believes in honor, teamwork, and civilized behavior…This is a hard military science novel with space battles out of Star Wars. The battle scenes are so intricately described that readers will be able to visualize them…A fast-paced but intricate story line and fully developed characters turn this novel into a fun reading experience. Fans of David Weber, Elizabeth Moon, and Peter F. Hamilton will find The Lost Fleet: Dauntless thoroughly enjoyable.”
– SFRevu
“This is an amazing piece of military science fiction writing, with a protagonist who is remarkable and memorable…Campbell writes well. Period. The book flows well, with an excellent mix of action and philosophical debate…Overall, this is just a plain good read with memorable characters and scenes, and a writing style that is aimed at people who like to think and ponder while enjoying the action. Bravo.”
– Rambles
“The Lost Fleet: Dauntless is well written, with a hero who’s all too human and battle weary. There’s much here that will remind readers of Battlestar Galactica…The battles are well-done, but it’s the characters who drive the story.”
– Fresh Fiction
“[Campbell’s] space operas [seek] to add new layers to the conventions of military SF.”
– SF Reviews.net
“Lots of fun, and I devoured it in a day. I can’t wait for the sequel.”
– The Weekly Press (Philadelphia)
“Campbell’s book takes a sharp look at military discipline (and the lack thereof) in wartime…engaging and interesting.”
– Romantic Times
