Science Fiction/Space Opera
What Goodreads Says:
“One of
the best military science fiction series on the market,” (Monsters and
Critics) The Lost Fleet delivers thrilling combat on a grand space
opera scale. Now, Admiral John “Black Jack” Geary embarks on a brand new
mission—to defend the Alliance from itself—in New York Times bestselling
author Jack Campbell’s latest action-packed novel…
Two
Syndicate World star systems have fallen prey to a mysterious fleet of
warships—a fleet controlled entirely by artificial intelligence—that is now
targeting Alliance space. The warships are no mystery to Geary. They were
developed by his government to ensure security, but malfunctioned. If the
Syndics learn the truth, the war with the Alliance will resume with a
vengeance.
As the
government attempts to conceal the existence of the A.I. warships—and its role
in their creation—Geary pursues them, treading a fine line between mutiny and
obedience. But it soon becomes clear that his fleet is no match for the
firepower of the machine-piloted armada.
With the help of the Dancer species
of aliens, Geary has tracked the A.I. ships to their secret base in the
supposedly mythical Unity Alternate star system where his fleet, the last hope
of the Alliance’s future, will end the conflict at any cost.
I was disappointed in Steadfast, the
last book of the series, but Campbell is back on track with Leviathan. Once again Geary has to save the
Alliance. This time he has to save
it from its own mistake. He does
not do it alone. The final save comes from a very unlikely source.
If you like space battles,
interesting characters, unusual aliens and impossible odds Leviathan is for you. It can read as a stand-alone but read
the entire series starting with The Lost Fleet for maximum enjoyment.
Ace published Leviathan by Jack
Campbell in 2015.
I received an ARC of Leviathan from
Netgalley in return for an honest
review.
