About this listen

New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell’s action-packed Lost Fleet series has propelled readers from deep space to the very edge of their seats. Now Admiral John “Black Jack” Geary embarks on a thrilling new adventure to defend the Alliance and safeguard the future.

Geary and the crew of the Dauntless have managed to safely escort important alien representatives to Earth. But before they can make tracks for home, two of Geary’s key lieutenants vanish. The search for his missing men leads Geary on a far-flung chase, ultimately ending at the one spot in space from which all humans have been banned: The moon Europa. Any ship that lands there must stay or be destroyed—leaving Geary to face the most profound moral dilemma of his life.

To make matters worse, strains on the Alliance are growing as the Syndics continue to meddle. Geary is ordered to take a small force to the border of Syndic space. But what he finds there is a danger much greater than anyone expected: A mysterious threat that could finally force the Alliance to its knees.

As Geary spearheads a desperate battle to protect the Alliance against a shrewd and powerful enemy, he’s left with just one question: Who are they?

Not the best

It's not as good as the other books in the series, to much political syndic revolution focus. Hopefully the cliffhanger will make it better in the next book.

A Great Stoery continuation

I bought the whole series for listening to on holiday and was glad that I did, I couldn't take my earphones off once I started and cannot wait for the rest of this series to come along.

I would recomend these stories to other listeners.

Another cracker

Would you consider the audio edition of Steadfast to be better than the print version?

Right, Audible is doing that annoying thing of asking arbitrary, pointless questions without letting me change them, so I'll answer my own questions anyway. I apologise in advance for any confusion!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Steadfast?

There's a lot more to this one than the last book, and it rattles along nicely with some new and very different combat/potential combat and political situations for Geary to cope with you. The change between war-fighting operations and peace-time operations (and the various grey areas between) are very well portrayed, on personal and professional levels. In particular, as ever, I like the way Geary worries and runs through his options in his head, explaining his moves and why he makes them, rather than instinctively or intuitively jumping to the correct solution as many 'heroes' do.

Which character – as performed by Christian Rummel – was your favourite?

All of them. As usual, Mr. Rummel does a superb job on the narration.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The book ends on a very interesting twist, albeit no more than the other parts of the series do. Frankly, Mr. Campbell can't write the sequel fast enough for me to find out what's going to happen next!

Any additional comments?

A great book, one of the best in the series, I'd say. A good mix of action, politics and personal issues, and a good mix of types of action to.

Superb

After a lot of the same I forget that these are captivating books that zip by all too quickly.

More of the same, but a bit of introspection on Earth. The best thing is the resourcefulness of the ships and their crew as they're faced with new and difficult challenges.

Plus a new enemy!

Enjoyable fast paced Sci Fi

What I like about this writer narrator combination is the immediacy with which I’m able to enter their vision of a totally unfamiliar environment. With the characterisation of the main charcters well detailed it is also easy to share their experiences, hopes and dreams. This novel makes a desire to read more a no brainer.
