The Doomed Earth

In Our Stars (#1)

"Campbell juggles a lot here, with military cover-ups, alien first encounters, and ruminations on what it means to be human studding the sprawling plot...This series is off to a good start."

Publisher's Weekly

“Campbell asks powerful questions about the way social structures collapse and how the loudest voices take advantage, all in a pulse-pounding adventure about saving the world and staying one step ahead of the forces that would destroy it.”

Library Journal

“Jack Campbell's IN OUR STARS is a wonderful, engaging, often uplifting adventure about caring and doing what's right, no matter the odds or the cost. And the soul of it all is honestly reminiscent of Heinlein at his best.”

Taylor Anderson, New York Times bestselling author

"Space Opera works best when it’s operatic. Big and bold, dark and dramatic, characters and concepts that are cheerfully off the scale. In Our Stars is all of these things, with an extra helping of mayhem, just to keep things tasty."

Simon R. Green, NY Times bestselling author of the Nightside Series

"An outstanding kickoff to a new series, In Our Stars is a heartfelt character study wrapped in a riveting action movie. It delivers everything I want out of sci-fi: fun tech, relatable characters, well-earned camaraderie, and deeply felt stakes. The bond between the two protagonists is inspiring—just two competent professionals who bring out the best in each other while striving to save the world from certain destruction. The contagious optimism and breakneck pace kept me glued to the page, and I’m eagerly awaiting the next installment!"

J. S. Dewes, author of The Last Watch

“Jack Campbell’s In Our Stars is an explosive start to his new series, introducing compelling storylines and characters grounded in his usual superb portrayal of the way a space navy functions – or misfunctions – under stress. Lt. Selene Genji is uniquely qualified to deal with the sudden appearance of aliens in Earth’s backyard in 2140, but it takes her combat skills and another lieutenant's firm belief to give Earth a fighting chance once it’s been destroyed in the future. Notch this one as a win for military SF fans, time travel aficionados, and general SF readers looking for a story where a potentially prosaic future meets the sense of wonder big time.”

Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, authors of the Liaden Universe

"Jack Campbell takes us across space and time as no one else can. IN OUR STARS is a gripping, heartfelt adventure that pulls you in and doesn’t let go."

Zac Topping, author of Wake of War

"Jack Campbell's IN OUR STARS is old fashioned science fiction in the best possible way; taking a good hard look at the present through the lens of the future."

Tanya Huff, author of the Valor and Peacekeeper series

"With IN OUR STARS, Jack Campbell shows once again why he's one of the best SF writers working today."

Michael Mammay, author of the Planetside Series

The Lost Fleet: Outlands

Boundless (#1)

"Boundless begins a third series, Outlands, in the bestselling Lost Fleets saga, and being the thirteenth book in no way jinxes the steady hand of Campbell's command of top-notch space opera."

Booklist

"There is no one who writes fleet combat as well as Campbell, and he is on top form here."

At Boundary's Edge

"I am ecstatic to have more of this world and these characters."

Books of My Heart

Resolute (#2)

"Thirteen volumes in, the Lost Fleet series maintains both its ability to put characters through the rigors of military action and to keep its central figure from losing his guileless outlook and unpretentious charm. This is another winner."

Publisher's Weekly

"Resolute is a book that shifts the Lost Fleet universe to new ground, while not forgetting where it came from. Yet again proving why Campbell is one of the modern masters of military SF."

At Boundary's Edge

"I highly recommend all these series in this world."

Books of My Heart

Implacable (#3)

"Overall, this is a tense and exciting science fiction thriller that kept me on an emotional rollercoaster. It was engaging, atmospheric, and suspenseful and did a great job of keeping me hooked. I can't wait to see what happens next."

Mystery & Suspense

"For those who have journeyed through the preceding installments, Implacable is a tantalizing treat, serving up another thrilling chapter in Geary's saga [...] I assure you the voyage through the series to this point will be worth every light-year. Campbell's series comes highly recommended, and Implacable shines brightly among its celestial brethren."

Game Vortex

"Geary is outstanding in the military missions and commanding the fleet, but he is also a great strategist and is learning politics and diplomacy."

The Lost Fleet Series

Dauntless (#1)

“This engaging and interesting first book will, one hopes, be part of a long-lasting series.”

RT Book Reviews

“If there’s ever a space war, the Lost Fleet series could well be the military’s manual. Author Jack Campbell, a former Navy officer, infuses the first book, DAUNTLESS, with the kind of details that make 'Black Jack' Geary’s futuristic exploits seem as if they’re ripped from today’s headlines. Narrator Christian Rummel gives this blood-and-guts adventure just the hard edge it needs.”

Audible

“If you’re a fan of character, action, and conflict in a military SF setting, you would probably be more than pleased by Campbell’s offering.”

Tor.com

“A good, solid military space action/adventure novel.”

Kliatt

“Fascinating stuff […] this is military SF where the military and SF parts are both done right.”

SFX Magazine

“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

“This first hand military knowledge is what gives DAUNTLESS its spit-shine of pure quality […] This is a stunning work. I cannot believe that it has taken eight years for me to read it. With a detailed story about interstellar conflict, this book could have been written with me personally in mind. I am happily reaching for the next book in the series, ‘Dreadnaught’, as we speak. If they awarded medals for writing fantastic SF, this book’s jacket would jangle.”

SFcrowsnest

“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

“An entertaining sci-fi yarn with a good central character.”

Fantasy Book Review

“Fast action […] solid military sf in the mold of David Weber’s Honor series […] the energy of the narrative and the broad sweep of the battles keep the reader engaged.”

SFFWorld

“Every thing that I love about space opera and far-future science fiction, Jack Campbell provides aplenty in this novel […] DAUNTLESS is definitely a novel that you should read, and I will definitely be continuing on with the series.”

Shadowhawk’s Shade

“Quintessential military science fiction that extrapolates naval combat into the vacuum of space with a real knack for storytelling.”

Staffer’s Book Review

”I found DAUNTLESS to be an excellent blend of real science and space action. I enjoyed myself thoroughly from first to last page.”

Brandon Sanderson, The New York Times bestselling author of The Stormlight Archive

“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

“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. DAUNTLESS is the best novel of its type that I’ve read.”

David Sherman, author of the Demontech series

“A rousing adventure.”

William C. Dietz, national bestselling author of REDZONE

“DAUNTLESS is the best space navy book that I've ever read.”

Michael Mammay, author of PLANETSIDE

Fearless (#2)

“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.”

SF Site

“FEARLESS is another entertaining installment in the Lost Fleet series.”

Fantasy Literature

“Ultimately though, yeah, FEARLESS is quite a bit better than Dauntless and it kept me hooked right up until the final page, so I’m definitely giving it my seal of approval.”

Shadowhawk’s Shade

Courageous (#3)

“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.”

“Done extremely well […] epic space battles with all sorts of twists and turns. Highly recommended.”

Walker of Worlds

"Good fun."

Don D'Ammassa, Hugo Award-winning author

Valiant (#4)

“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.”

RT Book Reviews

“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 If you like military SF, The Lost Fleet is always enjoyable, and VALIANT is a worthy continuation of Black Jack Geary’s saga.”

SF Site

“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

“A wonderful space opera filled with engrossing battles, dissections of military strategies and speculative scenarios […] nonstop action and character development.”

Night Owl Reviews

Relentless (#5)

“Real science fiction, as filling and nutritious as a meal of your favorite comfort foods.”

Analog

“Campbell produces one of the few series in [military science fiction] that I find consistently rewarding, and this was no exception to the rule.”

Critical Mass

“RELENTLESS offers plenty of military action, epic space battles, a cool ground war, clever intelligence operations, political intrigue, interesting ethical considerations, and social commentary.”

“Mixing razor-sharp military action with engaging character interaction, VICTORIOUS is as entertaining as the books which preceded it. Sheer fun; fast-paced popcorn reading.”

“Plenty of action and tension [and] exciting, intelligent and thoughtful storytelling [...] Reads like Horatio Hornblower in space and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Strong solid sci-fi that packs a mighty punch. I will be adding Jack Campbell to my list of “must read” authors.”

My Bookish Ways

Leviathan (#5)

“Campbell fully understands the implications of 3-D combat in space, including the orbital mechanics and vast distances involved, without ever succumbing to a dry recitation of mathematics. Military intelligence may be an oxymoron to some, but this novel demonstrates that intelligent military SF is entirely possible.”

Publishers Weekly

[In LEVIATHAN, Campbell] continue[s] to show his knack for telling a good and engrossing story [...] LEVIATHAN is a hugely entertaining novel, one worthy of the series, and a damned good read.”

SFFWorld

“Fans of Military Science Fiction will find a lot to like here […] Campbell does a nice job with the mechanics of space battles. He writes a heck of a good action scene and keeps finding new tactics and challenges for his protagonist.”

“Outstanding ship combat that seems closer than the future propels this book beyond other military science fiction series. I loved this and I want more! Overall grade: A”

The Last Full Measure

“[THE LAST FULL MEASURE] will probably appeal most to those who enjoy American historical fiction or fans of Jack Campbell’s military science fiction who want to see what he can do with a story set in the past instead of the future. I enjoyed the story as an alternate history and, perhaps, a warning.”

“It’s brilliantly imagined and constructed […] the book handily presents its story and leaves readers wanting more.

Stark's War Series

Stark’s War (#1)

“I was quite impressed and pleased.”

Science Fiction Chronicle

“Gripping, stirring boys’ own stuff with lots of desperate, frenetic, pulsing action as well as managing to be both poignant and thoughtful which is some achievement. This delivers on so many levels. If Bernard Cromwell gave literature Napoleonic soldier Richard Sharpe, then John G. Hemry has succeeded in giving as a noble warrior of the future in Ethan Stark.”

Fantasy Book Review

“Solidly written, action-packed mil-SF. The action scenes are very well done, the main characters fairly straightforward, the motivations for the characters clear. A good page-turner that will amply satisfy fans of this sub-genre.”

SFFWorld

“A gripping tale of military science fiction, in the tradition of Heinlein’s Starship Troopers and Haldeman’s Forever War. It serves as both a cautionary fable and a science fiction adventure, doing dual purpose and succeeding on both levels […] The characterization is right on […] the plot is sharp and crisp […] a worthy debut from Hemry, and it has the potential to join the pantheon of classic military sf stories if it gets the attention it deserves. Give this one a try.”

Absolute Magnitude

“I enjoyed STARK’S WAR and found it hard to put down. It’s an interesting take on the near future and well worth a read if you like military Science Fiction.”

SFcrowsnest

“When it comes to combat, Hemry delivers.”

William C. Dietz, New York Times bestselling author

“Gripping. Sgt. Stark is an unforgettable character […] STARK’S WAR reads as if Hemry has been there.”

Jack McDevitt, winner of the Robert A. Heinlen Award

“A rip roaring race through tomorrow’s battlefield, where knowledge is power, but stupidity still reigns. Hemry’s debut is a great yarn—and a thoughtful cautionary tale.”

Mike Shepherd, author of the Kris Longknife series

“STARK’S WAR is both page-turning SF and an if-this-goes-on story in the classic SF mode. John Hemry has perfectly captured the cynicism of the professional soldier and the camaraderie that develops in any good military unit—the sense of interdependence, the confidence that one’s comrades are the only ones to be fully trusted.”

Rick Shelley, author of the Varayan Memoir and Dirigent Mercenary Corps series

Stark’s Command (#2)

“Once again, we’re treated to a fascinating, complex look at the military mindset […] serves its purpose well and tells a damn fine story. For those who like military SF, this book more than serves the purpose, clearly claiming Hemry’s place at the Round Table of military SF writers. I’ll be looking forward to see how he resolves the story, and what else he has up his sleeve.”

Absolute Magnitude

“Fraught and desperate lunar battles and strong imagery […] this one is guaranteed to hold your attention and keep you thinking and guessing. 9*/10”

Stark’s Crusade (#3)

“In a gripping space opera Hemry delivers an intensely satisfying read. Strong characterization and well-executed action keep the pages turning.”

“Hemry has a solid sense of military thinking and lunar fighting, and I really liked this series.”

Philadelphia Weekly Press

“Unrelenting and gripping action [...] this entry is the final pay off that fans were hoping for.”

Fantasy Book Review

“Taken as a whole, the Stark’s War trilogy is a good read if you like military Science Fiction. It provides an interesting view of what could happen in the near future and the technologies that may be available. The military action sequences are very well done […] A good mix of characters.”

SFcrowsnest

JAG in Space Series

A Just Determination (#1)

“Superior military SF […] The last third of the book recalls nothing so much as The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial in an SF setting, and it attains the same high level of achievement. Although Hemry probably has too much taste to launch a googolplexology from this book, if he were to do so, discerning readers might applaud.”

Booklist

“Nicely set up and executed […] a[n] absorbing story.”

Science Fiction Chronicle

“A trim novel and a promising series start by an author who obviously knows what he’s writing about […] avoids the blood and thunder prevalent in the field. Hemry instead opts for courtroom tension and readable interaction between finely crafted characters. This series has promise to stand on its own among similar mature works, such as Poul Anderson’s Dominic Flandry books and the Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle Moteworld collaborations.”

Starlog

“A very interesting story with believable characters and a strong moral. The details of military life and the justice system that are explained are fascinating, vital to the story, and smoothly integrated into it. It also lays the groundwork for a series which I am looking forward to reading. I recommend it heartily.”

NY Review of Science Fiction

“A strong space ship legal thriller that provides incredible insight into life on an outer space vessel, as if John G. Hemry served on one […] fans of tales focused on the relationships within a military science fiction will want to trek to the stars with Paul.”

Best Reviews (H. Klausner)

“Being an officer on a combatant vessel underway is exhausting, exasperating, and exhilarating, in other words […] fascinating and addictive. And that’s what Hemry has managed to capture. […] Young Paul Sinclair is exactly the kind of guy you want to serve with, and exactly the kind of reluctant hero that great series are made from.”

SFRevu

“For intelligent and well thought out sci-fi, you shouldn’t look any further the Jag in Space. Highly recommended.”

SFFWorld

“Hemry gives sf its own JAG with this intelligent and engrossing legal drama […] one of the more worthwhile and provocative novels I’ve read in 2003. The climactic court-martial scene is something of a tour de force […] Hemry’s nuanced approach is praiseworthy, and I think Hemry’s future adventures of Paul Sinclair can only grow more rewarding.”

SF Reviews

“A remarkably impressive work of military science fiction. Hemry’s writing kept me deeply interested in the story at all times. I would never have expected a legalistic work of military science fiction to prove as exciting as A JUST DETERMINATION most definitely is. This is military science fiction at its best.”

Rambles

“A gripping finale […] Hemry has managed again to provide the reader with an absorbing and intelligent science fiction drama.”

Fantasy Book Review

“Hemry explores gallantry, honor, duty, and patriotism—as well as their opposites—in a book where both the court scenes and the space-chase scenes are page turners.”

Steve Miller, co-author of the Liaden Universe novels

“A JUST DETERMINATION is the 'Caine Mutiny' of the Space Age. A page-turning Sci-Fi thriller that captures you at the beginning and shocks you at the surprise twist in the ending.”

Capt. David E. Meadows, USN, author of The 6th Fleet and Joint Task Force series

“Your book was crafted with care, love and precision. I had a hard time putting it down, and was sorry when it was over.”

Stephen L. Burns, award-winning author of Flesh and Silver

Burden of Proof (#2)

“First-rate military SF. Another absorbing novel. Hemry’s series continues to offer outstanding suspense, realism and characterization, and this book, no less than its predecessor, only ratchets up readers’ appetites for more.”

Booklist

“Henry has pioneered a new sub-genre with his superb space ship military legal thrillers. The legal aspects are brilliantly intertwined within a fantastic military science fiction drama that should promote Mr. Hemry to a best selling admiral.”

Midwest Book Review

“A nicely understated and very effective novel of investigation and trial, with a convincing military backdrop that doesn’t fall into the excesses of most military SF. With this new series, Hemry has made the transition from potentially interesting to very interesting indeed, as his novels continue to show a steady improvement in plotting and background.”

Science Fiction Chronicle

“Very good and ticks all the right boxes.”

Fantasy Book Review

“One of the most relevant and intelligent adult drama series being published in SF right now. Delivers on the promise of A Just Determination. A rock solid courtroom drama […] delivers the kind of white knuckle tension that makes legal dramas so popular. Hemry’s decision to wed courtroom drama to military SF has captured lightning in a bottle. He builds the story’s suspense expertly. It all culminates naturally at the court-martial, and in the best tradition, this one will keep you turning pages with the proverbial bated breath.”

SF Reviews

“Hemry cements his position as the best writer of legalistic military science fiction working today […] some of the most human, realistic, vibrant characters I’ve ever been introduced to [...] An engrossing, addictive reading experience.”

Rambles

“Hemry has come up with a winner. The tension is palpable, the trial scence is well-handled, and the result is a first-rate thriller.”

I Love a Mystery

“I enjoyed the book and I look forward to following the future adventures of Paul Sinclair.”

SFRevu

“BURDEN OF PROOF is another exciting military legal SF adventure from Hemry. Perfectly capturing the rapid-fire give and take and dramatic arguments of shows like Law and Order and JAG or movies like A Few Good Men, and throwing in the sholid characterization of classic Robert A. Heinlein, the story moves at a fast pace. Once I started reading, I was hard-pressed to put the book down, and I’m left eagerly awaiting the next installment of Paul Sinclair’s career. BURDEN OF PROOF, like each of Hemry’s books to date, is a must for any military SF fan.”

SF Site

Rule of Evidence (#3)

“One hell of a series. A humdinger. The Paul Sinclair series remains at the top of my list of Great SF Books.”

“This is, in my opinion, the best of the series [...] The ethical dilemmas posed make the books interesting, and this one especially so.”

Rosboch Book Reviews

“An engrossing, page-turning story, using a combination of excellent pacing, the inherent drama of a courtroom, and a ton of realistic-feeling military detail.”

Eyrie

Against All Enemies (#4)

“Hemry’s real-world experience gives the investigation and subsequent courtroom scenes a convincing feel. If you crave a legalistic space-Hornblower, you’ll enjoy this one and you’ll look forward to what he gets into next.”

The Hidden Masters of Marandur (#2)

“I loved THE HIDDEN MASTERS OF MARANDUR […] The intense battle and action scenes are one of the places where Campbell’s writing really shines. There are a lot of urban and epic fantasy novels that make me cringe when I read their battles, but Campbell’s years of military experience help him write realistic battles.”

All Things Urban Fantasy

I finished it in almost 12 straight hours [...] I can say with complete honesty that THE SERVANTS OF THE STORM by Jack Campbell is one of the best books I’ve ever had the pleasure to listen to.”

The Wrath of the Great Guilds (#6)

“I still remember picking up the first book in the series almost two years ago and I still haven’t found any new series that really compares to it yet.”

The Arched Doorway

“I love this series. I am very eagerly anticipating the spin-off that’s implied by the end of this one.”

Vanguard (#1)

“Campbell’s skillfully constructed tale keeps a riveting pace, making each character’s personal stakes into fundamental threads woven into a high-energy whole.”

“Sympathetic characters combined with authentic details of military maneuvers on land and in space are the hallmark of a writer still at the top of his form, comparable to authors such as David Drake and David Weber.”

Booklist

Bustle

“Daring escapades, boarding actions, ground combat…entertainingly full of explosions. If you enjoyed his previous work, you’ll like this one, too.”

Locus

“It’s the quiet integrity of Campbell’s cast that will have you cheering…and waiting impatiently for a sequel.”

Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

“VANGUARD is another winner for me, both as a prequel series and as a fresh start. It’s got that excellent readability that is present in all Campbell’s novels, and when the story is itself engrossing you just can’t lose. VANGUARD also has the added benefit of being a great place for newcomers to join […] In short, highly recommended.”

SFFWorld

“Campbell knows how to write military fiction. You never need to fear a lack of action or unrealistic action. His characters are well written and he shows a society that doesn’t just talk a good game related to equality.”

SFRevu

“A near constant stream of space and ground combat keeps the action moving, and the characters are both fun and feel real. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys space opera, military SF, or even just a deftly written, fast-moving story.”

Amazing Stories Magazine

“Magnificent! Jack Campbell has done an amazing job at bringing an epic space battle to life. The characters were full of depth and color. I kept finding myself rooting for the Squall, even toward the end when they faced unparalleled odds, they never gave up. Four stars!”

Confessions of an Ex-Ballerina

“If swashbuckling adventures, computer hacking, and clever guerrilla tactics sounds like exactly what you’ve been missing in your science-fiction, THE GENESIS FLEET: VANGUARD might be the start of a new series for you.”

Game Vortex

“Jack Campbell’s VANGUARD starts a new series with a bang. Honestly, it reads like first rate, action-packed, historical fiction—only this history is set hundreds of years in an all too believable future. There’s plenty going on from multiple, diverse perspectives, and the characters come alive in the very best ways. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next installment!”

Taylor Anderson, The New York Times bestselling author of the Destroyermen Series

“VANGUARD is the book Campbell’s Lost Fleet readers have been waiting for, whether they knew it or not. From the moment the young Robert Geary takes his first breath of air on a new planet, the story grabbed me by the throat and didn’t let go. Strong characters, complex politics on multiple worlds, battles against impossible odds, this book has the whole package. And for those who haven’t read the Lost Fleet books yet…start with VANGUARD. Like…the moment you can order it.”

Elizabeth Moon, author of THE SPEED OF DARK

"Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet series is a must-read for fans of military scifi. Packed with complex characters and even more complex deep-space naval battles, it's the ultimate saga of human perseverance and the will to survive."

Zac Topping, author of Wake of War

Ascendant (#2)

“The second installment of the Genesis Fleet […] offers a great entry point for new readers looking for realistic military science fiction […] Campbell builds compelling characters and surrounds them with authentic details of skirmishes in space, on the ground, and everywhere in between that make this adventure a page-turner of the first order.”

Booklist

“The second book in the Genesis Fleet series launches readers right back into the early, tumultuous years of Glenlyon, and the rich characters who have already made this series so engaging [...] The action and suspense of this voyage will certainly hold readers’ interest.”

RT Book Reviews

“This prequel series to Campbell’s Lost Fleet saga offers fascinating backstory, but also stands alone nicely.”

Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

“Fans of David Weber, Ian Douglas, and John Scalzi should find plenty here to enjoy […] The action and adventure keep coming and there is a lot to come in the third volume of the series.”

SFRevu

“The stories are Jack Campbell classics of people with character strength and compassion and intelligence. The characters are exceptional; people you would want to know, at least, the good guys […] I do love the space battles and the ground battles. The technology discussions around repairs and battles are also fascinating to me. There is even some humor! I love these stories.”

Books of My Heart

Triumphant (#3)

“[Jack Campbell’s] characters are well-drawn, with fully fleshed-out backgrounds and temperaments […] A solid entry to extend an always reliable sequence.”

Kirkus

“Campbell has a sure hand with military SF balanced with political intrigue and heroic protagonists ready to spring into action. His fans will be thrilled, and readers of John Ringo and David Weber should find a lot to like here.

Library Journal

“This is the conclusion of the Genesis Fleet Trilogy […] I look forward to seeing more from Campbell.”

SFRevu

“Triumphant is like a love letter to fans of the series.”

Books of My Heart

“Jack Campbell’s The Genesis Fleet series presents an interesting take on space travel […] If you haven’t read any of The Genesis Fleet yet, then definitely start at the beginning with Vanguard. If you’ve been reading the series, however, then you probably only need to know that TRIUMPHANT is available. Well, it is and I highly recommend it.”

Game Vortex

The Lost Stars Series

Tarnished Knight (#1)

“Campbell maintains the military, political and even sexual tension with sure-handed proficiency […] Campbell focuses on the human element: two strong, well-developed characters locked in mutual dependence, fumbling their way toward a different and hopefully brighter future. What emerges is a fascinating and vividly rendered character study, fully and expertly contextualized.”

Kirkus

"If there is at this present time a better writer of pure popcorn explosive-BOOM military space opera working in the field, I haven’t found them.”

Tor.com

“TARNISHED KNIGHT is as much an intellectual puzzle as it is a space adventure. The political and social aspects of overturning a centrally run government that controls its people through terror and strict regulations are truly interesting.”

Fantasy Literature

“TARNISHED KNIGHT proves that Campbell can continue to produce entertaining, thought-provoking far future, space-based science fiction. In an era where fantasy is dominant over the science fiction side of the SFF tree, I’d welcome more US authors [who] write and publish novels like Jack Campbell does.”

SFFWorld

“I truly enjoy Jack Campbell’s writing and pacing […] One of the most interesting aspects of the story is the internal fighting that has become part and parcel with advancement in their system of government. The rampant abuse of power and casual disregard for underlings is so pervasive that no one can imagine a way that it could be different.”

SFRevu

“The military battle sequences are very well done with the land-based action adding a new dimension […] Fans of the ‘Lost Fleet’ series will almost certainly buy and enjoy this book.”

SFcrowsnest

“THE LOST STARS: TARNISHED KNIGHT is a true page turner as Jack Campbell takes you from one cliff-hanger to the next before you’ve had time to readjust to the newest twist. You feel just a little bit of the paranoia and fear that is an everyday accompaniment to a world that is just getting its first taste of freedom. I look forward to the next book to continue the adventures!”

My Bookish Ways

“This brilliant sidebar, new series occurs during a period between the Beyond the Frontier last two entries: Dreadnaught and Invincible […] Jack Campbell runs a strong saga shown from the viewpoints of the Syndicate at a time when the vicious totalitarian military regime teeters on the brink of total collapse.”

Alternative Worlds

“This imaginative science fiction novel does a nice job of exploring the difficulty of forming alliances in a climate where suspicion and backstabbing has traditionally been not only encouraged but virtually required in order to get ahead.”

Night Owl Reviews

“On the surface TARNISHED KNIGHT is a simple story of fast flowing hi-tech battles on the ground, complex and gripping battles in space, invasion and mayhem. But very close to the surface its a different story altogether.”

BookGeek

“TARNISHED KNIGHT is a delicious dish from an exciting new Syndic establishment that includes an appetizer of rebellion and civil war, an entree of political intrigue and survival, and is now served with a side of aliens.”

Fresh Fiction

“TARNISHED KNIGHT is a promising start of a new series that expands the world Campbell has created in The Lost Fleet. While there are plenty of military engagements, overall there is less action, and more emphasis on character development and a complex political plot.”

The Guilded Earlobe

Perilous Shield (#2)

"[Campbell's] character development is outstanding […] The universe he has created is full of things to marvel at, and his ability to depict both positive and negative aspects of society remains a strong suit in his writing.”

Fantasy Literature

“Fast paced with lots of action.”

SFRevu

Imperfect Sword (#3)

“Campbell’s third Lost Stars military SF adventure (after The Lost Stars: Perilous Shield) delivers all his signature attractions […] a fast-paced thrill ride that leaps nimbly from harrowing to heartbreaking to heroic. The tentative steps of establishing a new society are no less intense. Both new and returning readers will dive right in.”

Publishers Weekly

“Even 13 novels into the universe [...] the ride is worth it. Fans of the numerous military science fiction will find something to like here.”

SFRevu

“A wonderful action-packed installment […] This is the kind of book that leaves me hungering for another helping of Campbell’s space combat.”

Fantasy Literature

Shattered Spear (#4)

“Anyone who likes space battles, planetary scale politics, and stories with an interstellar scale will enjoy all of the Lost Stars and Lost Fleet novels. [Campbell's stories are] well told, with heroes, villains, and explosions enough to satisfy anyone [and] some real moral depth. If you have enjoyed other military SF series, this is a must-read.”
