Courageous. This is an excellent series with great characters.

100 Words or Less. [This review is for the first 3 books of the Lost Fleet series.] “Dauntless” starts with a rush and then settles down into the nuts and bolts of large-scale naval … I mean … space warfare. At first, it seems interesting, though a bit shallow. However, “Fearless” and “Courageous” add nothing to the first novel. It’s obviously a one-trick concept: formatted battles with confusing geometrical formations and victory against all odds. The same character emotions over and over. A beauty (or curse?) of e-readers is the ability to search key phrases; in these novels the same sentences are repeated over and over. That’s lazy writing. So, good beginning. Then, monotonous retread.

Engaging combat, awful characters.. Every military engagement is incredibly well written, giving thought to the many problems actual space combat has. It's truly one of the best takes on sci fi naval engagements. Unfortunately, the character writing is atrocious and hasn't gotten better from the last couple of entries. Everybody fits neatly into an archetype: the irredeemable idiots who's only role is to question and cause dissent only to get put down, the honorable officers who are conpetent and side with the main character, and the evil characters who are evil. I honest to god could barely tell the difference between characters in each archetype - they hit the exact same narrative beats and it gets quite exhausting reading dialogue after a whole. I actually groaned out loud when I first started reading the first two chapters. The irredeemable idiots were dealt with in the last book, so of course the author introduces another set of them saying they were the last set's "proteges". They serve the exact same purpose in the exact same way - to question and be put down. What was the point, exactly? To give us a new hate sink? On top of that, the main characters have remained relatively static throughout the series thus far. The main character is constantly feeling the burden of command, with doubts about his legacy. Desjani is all business. Rione is mysterious. There are flashes of development and levity, but they're often forced or brushed over quickly. It's always onwards to the next engagement. Overall, this series has tons of flaws, but the combat is written so well that it is single handedly keeping me interested.

Excellent!. I love everything about these books (so far to be fair). They are all excellently written with a perfectly blended parts of action, description, talking, and mind-bending twists. I bought Dauntless for a trip to just try it out because I saw Elizabeth Moon had commented on the series with praise, and I love her books. After reading the first one, I am totally hooked! I recommend these to anyone who loves space battling books!

Great. Space battles, political intrigue, character development, and an author that keeps you on your toes - what more could you want? This is another great book in the series.

Space Battle. These nooks are short but glorious.

Lost Fleet: Courageous. Great book. Love this series.

Amazing ending. Jack Campbell takes the story of the lost band of warriors travelling through enemy territory, has it spanning 6 books, and consistently delivers even through this third book in the series. Wow. The ending alone was perfect. Having Captain Geary constantly struggling between his own actions as the commander of a fleet using forgotten tactics and the bravado of the ‘Black Jack Geary’ persona that hangs on his shoulders makes it all that much more epic.
