REVIEWS PRAISE FOR JACK CAMPBELL'S LOST FLEET SERIES "Black Jack is an excellent character, and this series is the best military SF I've read in some time." --Wired Magazine "This engaging and interesting first book will, one hopes, be part of a long-lasting series." --Romantic Times "A good, solid military space action/adventure novel." --Kliatt "Rousing military-SF action... it should please many fans of old-fashioned hard SF. And it may be a good starting point for media SF fans looking to expand their SF reading beyond tie-in novels." --SciFi.com "A good book overall and a very promising series to come." --SF Reviews "Well-written with a hero who's all too human and battle weary. There's much here that will remind readers of Battlestar Galactica, which is not a bad thing. The battles are well-done, but it's the characters who drive the story." --FreshFiction.com "A slam-bang good read, and yes, it kept me up at night... Solid, thoughtful, but also exciting." --Elizabeth Moon, Nebula Award winning author "Black Jack Geary is very real, very human, and so compeling he'll leave you wanting more. Jack Campbell knows fleet actions and it shows. DEFIANT is the best novel of its type that I've read." --David Sherman "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 ALPHA
"Taking pride of place alongside (the author's) brilliant Paul Sinclair novels. Fearless is another satisfying cocktail to slake the thirst of fans who like their space operas with a refreshing moreal and intellectual chaser. It's no wonder Hemry chose as his pen name for this saga that of one of SF's more renowned editors. John W. Campbell would have admired the rationalism and rigor Jack Campbell has brought to these books. The Lost Fleet deserves to find a home on your bookshelf."

Return to Top"Some of the best military science fiction on the shelves today, and Courageous doesn't disappoint in the least. I'll eagerly be awaiting the next installment in the series."
--SF Site
Return to Top"This wonderfully well-plotted story is strongly reminiscent of the old Hornblower novels, featuring exciting and believable battles. The story brings back the true meaning of romance and captures the spirit of strong men and women facing unimaginable odds with courage and honor. It carries you along on the adventure, and you're eager to go where it takes you."
--Romantic Times
"Jack Campbell does a good job of fulfilling the requirements of both military SF and hard SF in The Lost Fleet: Valiant, and the novel will please fans of both forms."
--SciFi.com
"The series is fast-paced and enjoyable to read... Readers who enjoyed David Weber's Honor Harrington books, Ian Douglas's Space Marines, or Walter Hunt's Dark Wing series should also enjoy this series."
--SFRevu
"A great series... Campbell continues to entertain and satisfy with VALIANT... one of those series where a new installment leaps to the top of my reading pile, because I know it's going to be a quick, fun, quality read that'll give me my military sf fix... if you like military sf, The Lost Fleet is always enjoyable, and VALIANT is a worthy continuation of Black Jack Geary's saga."
