Fearless by Jack Campbell
5.0
Suspense and paranormal make up the majority of Mt Git'r'Read. The remainder leans into other genres including science fiction. It has to be the kind that doesn't delve too much into the weeds of technical and mechanical. Or if it does, written in such a way that it doesn't go completely over my cranium.
Jack Campbell writes the latter. It is still technical, but smoothly done. Maybe because The Lost Fleet is military in nature and I am familiar with that world and that lingo. Also because Jack Campbell is an excellent story teller. It's a superb story that happens to be science fiction in nature.
FEARLESS is the second book in the Lost Fleet series and is as excellent as the first one that had me going out to buy this one within a few pages of starting DAUNTLESS.
Captain John "Black Jack" Geary is beginning to feel at least reasonably comfortable in his role as Fleet commander. He's had continuous difficulties with a few of his other ships' captains, but it is exacerbated when a rescued captain begins to fling his authority around, leading to mutiny.
John Geary just wants to get his fleet home to Alliance safety, but the mutineers want to stand and fight the Syndic.
The first book was mostly Geary accepting his role as Fleet Commander after a century of frozen sleep. He has made progress with most of the fleet acceptance of his training scenarios and reverting back to discipline and routines that seem to have slipped away.
Here he is battling the enemy in the Syndic as well as the mutineers. The way he handles himself, makes his decisions, and treats his crew is watching his dual personalities. Not split, but as John Geary and as legendary "Black Jack".
A superb book and I cannot wait to get the next in the series, COURAGEOUS.
Definite recommend.
