War of Honor – David Weber
I begun this book straight after Ashes of Victory back in 2012, but tired of it before I got very long. It must have been fatigue after too many books in the same series. Had I read another 50 pages, … Continue reading
The Martian – Andy Weir
Masterpiece! What a great book! An astronaut is stranded on Mars, and we follow him as he waits for death or rescue. He doesn’t just sit idly by mind you. I’m not an astrophysicist, but the science seems realistic, and … Continue reading
Metatropolis: The Dawn of Uncivilization
An interesting anthology featuring short fiction by Scalzi, Elizabeth Bear, Tobias Buckell, Jay Lake, and Karl Schroeder. The authors have collectively created a shared future world. Good read, although the first story took a couple of tries spread out over the year.
Antares Dawn – Michael McCollum
Another great recommendation from Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte on Security Now. An isolated human world suddenly discovers a spaceship in the sky, opening the floodgates to a lot of options! The parallel love story is a bit simplistic, but … Continue reading
The Lost Fleet: Victorious – Jack Campbell
Jack finally returns to Alliance Space with the lost fleet, only to quickly leave again to take the war to the Syndics. As was hinted at in earlier books, the entire human race also faces a new threat from a … Continue reading

The Lost Fleet: Valiant – Jack Campbell
Black Jack Geary goes back to star system that nearly spelled disaster for his fleet. Will it be worth it? Will the Syndics be waiting? What other dangers lurk for Black Jack and his fleet?
The Lost Fleet: Courageous – Jack Campbell
After a few successful battles Black Jack Geary finds out that maybe the Syndics are not the worst of his worries. His fleet is badly hurt and low on critical supplies. Will he make it home?
The Lost Fleet: Fearless – Jack Campbell
Book no 2 in the Lost Fleet series does not disappoint. Black Jack Geary leads the Alliance fleet through Syndic space towards home, but not everyone are starstruck by his legends, and there are challenges to his command!
The Lost Fleet: Dauntless – Jack Campbell
Great book! “Black Jack” Geary wakes up after 100 years cryosleep and finds that The Alliance is at war with the Syndics. After 100 years of devastating war, he is the only officer trained in space battle tactics. Thanks to the recommendation … Continue reading
