Synopsis

Admiral John “Black Jack” Geary fears the greatest threat to humanity may be itself in this gripping continuation of the New York Times bestselling series.

As far from explored space as any human has ever been, Geary and the Alliance fleet are on their own, protecting a diplomatic mission in territory belonging to an alien species with still-unknown motives.

His already complex and dangerous mission is further imperiled by deadly challenges from other human factions seeking to harm or exploit the aliens. When another alien species whose technology is far more advanced than humanity’s arrives, the stakes are raised to the highest possible level.

Only the most serious danger comes from an unexpected source.

When presented with orders to carry out actions he believes not only are mistaken but would be contrary to the ideals of the Alliance, Geary has to finally decide whether he must invoke the power that his long-revered name holds, all the while knowing that this might endanger his entire fleet, tear apart the Alliance, and destroy everything he has fought for.

3.0⭐ Original Review July 21, 2023 This book wraps up nicely the latest arc in the endless space opera saga of Black Jack Geary and his not-Lost Fleet. Let's be honest - it's formulaic with shallow characterization, corny jokes and occasionally painful dialogue. Who cares? It's got all the space batt......more

Excellent installment Another good Blackjack Geary novel with questions of ethics and insane orders brought up. I had a lot of fun with this one. I will say that I hope they eventually do address the incompetence of the Alliance civilian government.......more

Very fun, as usual. About the only things preventing me from giving all 5 stars are the lack of character development and a few aspects of the story that don't seem to have had much relevance.......more
