Interpretation During Books Dreadnaught (The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier #1)

Geary and the Fleet are back. With the War between the Syndicate and the Alliance finally over (thanks to Geary), our hero is hoping that he can finally catch some R&R. Unfortunately, forces are at work that are pushing him back into the far reaches of space. True, the war between the two human states is over, but the Syndicate worlds are descending into chaos with many star systems proclaiming their independence and Syndicate central government trying to maintain control. And, not to be overlooked, the Enigma race is still out there, lurking, just beyond the reach of human civilization.

These books capture the menace of the Enigma race very well. They are secretive, hidden, and possessing of technology beyond that of human understanding. That's exactly what I like to see in science fiction. An ominous mystery that needs to be unwrapped. What is the Enigma race? What happened to the humans who fell under Enigma control? How much of a threat are they? To answer these questions, Geary takes the fleet beyond the frontier of human space.

And the Enigma race really is done well. The author does not simply project human rationalizations on them. They are not Klingons or Vulcans. They are an alien race with an entirely different way of looking at things. This feels really authentic to me.

Finally, with these books I feel like a broken record. I like the mystery of the Enigma race. To be frank, I started the Beyond the Frontier books simply to find out who they are. I also like the inevitable space battles. The author has nailed combat at relativistic speeds. Of course, there are also things I don't like. The card board characters. The cheesy relationship between Geary and his Captain. These are really, really starting to get to me.

Three broadsides out of five.

Column Epithetical Books Dreadnaught (The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier #1)

Blackjack Geary has successfully defeated the Syndic forces and brought an end to a hundred year war through a combination of wits, good tactics, strategic planning, and some dumb luck. However, in the process he's managed to make an enemy of the civilian government. They're so worried about the possibility of a military coup that they have zeroed in on Blackjack as a threat to their power. Their solution? After determining that arresting him would result in the very coup they were worried on,

It's a good setup for the rest of this series, but it all seemed a bit too formulaic, which in someways was a trademark of the previous series. I guess it comes down to, if you enjoyed the last series, this is very much more of the same.

Continuation to a great series, finally getting farther into the realm of sci-fi. I won't review the books individually since, like The Lost Fleet, the books are too similar to differentiate. They're more like episodes in a miniseries than separate tales.

This is an excellent read. I read a few who said that the "Beyond the Frontier" series wasn't as good as the "Lost Fleet" series. Well, that may be true in some ways I suppose. It probably depends on what you come to the book looking for. It's true that there isn't so much action here as we saw in the first series. The great battles involving fleets of ships aren't so common here (though we do have some conflict with the "alien" race mostly in the last third of the book). I think I'm interested

NOTE: Possible spoilers Dreadnought is a book I would describe as being basically slightly disappointing. Now the copy I read was lent to me by a friend and to be honest I would probably take an even less favorable view if I'd actually forked over money for it. The original series I found to have a few problems (at least one book too long in my opinion) but basically enjoyable. Dreadnought picks up right where the Lost Fleet left off and opens very well. The Alliance is victorious in a

I always enjoy book 7 in a 6 part series. This series needed this book as Black Jack Geary had rescued the Alliance Fleet, kicked the Syndics butt, discover an alien race called the enigma who were just sitting by and watching the Syndic and Alliance forces destroy each other so they could move in and take over the neighbourhood.Having returned to Earth the politicians had to do something with Black Jack Geary because he was just too powerful after this triumphant return with what remained of

I almost gave this three stars since I like the series so much, but I was disappointed in this book. The beginning was very slow and far too full of politics. Once the action finally did pick up, things moved far too quickly. Seven star systems in one page? Wow. And then right as things got good, it ended. Obviously Campbell/Hemry is leaving this open for the next book, but this book was definitely short enough to just put it all into one. So while I will read the next in the series, because it
