Synopsis

Deep within Syndicate World space, the Alliance fleet continues its dangerous journey home under the command of Captain John “Black Jack” Geary—revived after a century spent in suspended animation. Geary’s victories over the enemy
have earned him both the respect—and the envy—of his fellow officers …

“Black Jack” Geary has made many risky decisions as commander, but ordering the Alliance fleet back to the Lakota Star System where it had nearly been destroyed by the Syndics has his officers questioning his sanity. It’s a desperate
gamble that may buy Geary just enough time to prepare for the Syndics’ inevitable return—and give the fleet a fighting chance of survival.

But even as he struggles to stay one step ahead of the enemy, Geary must face conspirators within his own fleet—an unknown number of officers who want a change of command. And Geary knows that his fleet must stand together or the Syndic forces will tear them apart …

Goodreads review by Julie on March 25, 2013

Portions of this installment really, really seemed to drag (quite an accomplishment for a book that doesn't even crack 300 pages). Rione has become an almost unbearably obnoxious character to me at this point, and the first half of the book is basically her being an irritating wench about her relati......more

Black Jack Geary is back! Still trapped deep within Syndicate space, Geary and his ships are starting to feel more confident of eventual escape. They have shattered several Syndicate flotillas, and are now just a few jumps from Alliance space. What could possibly go wrong? This series continues to ex......more

Goodreads review by Nate on September 29, 2023

Starting to get a bit pot-boilery but still enjoyable. I’m beginning to wonder if the author is a super Christian because of how some of the love triangle stuff goes down and the reactions they have to some pornography they wind up seeing. They are completely repulsed by it but he kept the subject o......more
