Victorious is a good conclusion to Jack Campbell's The Lost Fleet series, turning it from being about a war against a human enemy to being the beginning of a conflict with an alien one. There were a few times that that turning point felt a little anticlimactic because almost all the fighting that brings an end to the war happens in the first.

An offshoot of his Lost Fleet novels, with this first in a new series Campbell takes his now-familiar universe and explores it from a new angle. By focusing on the heretofore antagonists, he humanizes what were up to this point a fairly monolithic and cartoonish enemy force. There is quite clearly a different tone with this volume as well, which also offers a nice change of pace. Where the Black Jack books have mainly focused on concepts of Leadership and responsibility, this new series has take..more
Like many readers of Jack Campbell's prior books/series, I held off on this series-was hesitant because I wasn't sure I wanted to read a series about Syndicate CEOs. It is a testament to his prior series that I had developed a deep hatred for the Syndicate and didn't want to read a series from their view. Well, as a further testament to Mr. Campbell's writing, this book made me appreciate the characters, albeit former Syndicate CEO's, and I wondered why I had not started this series sooner. I'm..more

In this spinoff series from his Lost Fleet series, Jack Campbell refocuses on a couple of ex-Syndicate (the dystopian corporate empire that served as the antagonists in the lost fleet books) CEO's who cut ties with their old masters and try their hand at a little revolution (more out of pragmatism than idealism), throwing off (some) of the shackles of the Syndicate to establish their own independent star system. The strange thing about this book is that it's a fairly elaborate science fiction re..more
Confession: I find Artur Drakon and Gwen Iceni easier characters to get into than I did John Geary. They're less idealistic, and frankly simpler for me to get immersed in. Perfect heroes like Geary always make my teeth hurt a little.

Unfortunately I couldn't finish this. I liked the Lost Fleet, but when I came back to try this series, it all seemed too..basic? Most every character felt the same as the next, they acted predictably, and they talked blandly. I couldn't stand it.
To be fair, I had just finished an intricate mystery/political/military thriller, and this wasn't the best choice for follow-up. I started The Wise Man's Fear after I quit this, and loved every bit.

Four stars is well-earned for this book. It did take a while to read, but it was a good mix of action and character development that I enjoyed reading. I love the game of chess played out by General Drakon and President Iceni. I definitely want to continue this series!

This is the first Book in 'The Lost Stars' series by Jack Campbell a.k.a. John G. Hemry. This is the story of the aftermath of the Syndicate World's defeat by the Alliance and the attack on the Midway system by the alien Enigmas. It is up to former CEO Artur Drakon and former CEO Gwen Iceni to form a new government and find a way to protect their star system from the remnants of the Syndicate government and also to protect their system in case of a return of the Enigmas.

Tarnished Knight marks the first book outside of Jack Campbell’s two Lost Fleet series. Part of a new subseries entitled The Lost Stars, The Tarnished Knight, is Campbells first work to feature protagonists not from the Alliance worlds. Picking just before the Alliance fleet arrives in the Midway star system (I believe it was in Dreadnaught) this novel features two former Syndicate CEOs Artur Drakon, and Gwen Iceni. The two CEOs, having formed a tenuous alliance, have hatched a plan to overthrow..more

I am a fan of Jack Campbell's Military Science Fiction. His original Lost Fleet series was almost like crack for me; as soon as I finished one, I had to pick up the next. That continued when I read his first 'Beyond the Frontier' novel..with one exception - my own writing was taking off and I didn't have the time to invest in reading (much to my own sorrow).

I started reading Mr. Campell's 'Black Jack' series a while ago when I was looking for some new military scifi to read. I found his early books to be fun, very accurate in regards to space battles, but light on the character development side. And Black Jack never seems to lose a battle.
This book is the best of the series. (Potential spoilers)

It takes a good author to make aliens seem .. well .. alien. Jack Campbell .. aka.. John Hemry .. has already proven he can do that in the Lost Fleet series.
It takes a great author to make the human protagonists seem alien while at the same time sympathetic. I am thrilled to say that he has done just that in his new book, The Tarnished Knight. Both of Campbell's heroes in this book, while likable, have beliefs and ingrained notions of reality that are both 'alien' to someone living in a wes..more

A very entertaining Military Science Fiction novel showing us those on the other side of the conflict from The Lost Fleet series.
Although the latest few books of that series were not as exciting as the first ones this new spin-off series has the potential to outshine TLF entirely.
We have a larger cast of more interesting protagonists, many of which won't be out of place in a Byzantine tale of political backstabbing and intrigue like A Song of Ice and Fire.

This is no 'Lost Fleet' series - and all the flaws of the author become glaringly obvious in this new series. His inability to provide well round, three dimensional characters is the biggest obstacle for the reader. Without the care factor this read becomes Boring and slow.
I have read all the Lost Fleet/Beyond Frontiers novels but gave up half way through this book. Not enough action, and the characters just failed to make me give a damn about their inane problems.

This is a spin off of the Black Jack Geary series. I prefer the Black Jack series, which focused on space and spaceship battles.
This series focuses on the planet of Midway and breaking away from the Syndicate.
There are a lot of interesting characters. The mysterious past of Morgan and whether Malin has a crush on her is a nice sub plot.
I think you need to read the Black Jack Geary series before this series. Too much is not explained for new readers.

Anything in the Lost Fleet series is good when you want fleet vs fleet action, and Tarnished Knight continues the tradition. Unfortunately it also follows the tradition of cardboard characters and poor quality writing.

Not sure what to make of this. I enjoyed the story, but I struggled to visualise the world and got a bit tired of all the information loading.
Perhaps I should read the 'Jack Black' series and then judge it again. I might be able to visualise the world better in that case.

Interesting look at how corporate-style apparatchiks could form a new nation after the collapse of central authority in the Midway system of the Lost Fleet universe. Not unlike post-Cold War Eastern Europe, locals have to decide what comes after the collapse of the Syndicate Empire, a winner-takes-all dictatorship totalitarian state that just lost a century-long war with the rival Alliance. Both sides are strung out, but the Syndic planets were further degraded and filled with potential rebellio..more

Only quibble, as common with much sci-fi, is depicting a fundamental philosophical and practical confusion.

I was initially sceptical about this series as I worried that Jack Campbell would be unable to realistically articulate multiple characters going through the type of personality change necessary to make the transition from Syndic to non-Syndic.
How wrong I was, the Iceni and Drakon were fully fleshed out and their individual journeys from CEO to President/General and their baby steps in walking towards a more sane governmental/social system was plausible.

This was an interesting story, coming as it does from the long-time enemies of Campbell's The Lost Fleet series. There are some space battles being fought here, plus a lot of other stuff going on, but neither of the main characters is as interesting or engaging as the admiral and his captain from The Lost Fleet. Maybe it's because we don't know if the lost fleet is going to survive, but the lost stars plotline occurs after many of the events we've already addressed from the other side. I just wa..more
In this spinoff of the Black Jack series, the author presents the viewpoint of how the leaders of a Syndicate world can break free of their overlords. The concept is good, but the plot does not have much vigor. Instead, it feels like a series of short stories that are strung together, each story dealing with a different obstacle. In addition, the narrative is sometimes awkward, and the characterizations all seem the same. For these reasons, I'm not sure if I will continue with the series.
I liked this book. It was an off shoot of the Lost Fleet series. Much of the book was spent introducing new characters. As such, it wasn't as exciting to read as some of his others. For example, book two in this new series, got right into action because the character development had already happened.
This series offers a different perspective to the war with the Syndicate,a darker and shadier perspective with just the right amount of politics.I honestly approached it with scepticism ,thinking that i was somehow betraying the Alliance in favor of the Syndicate,simply by reading it,however i was soon engulfed in the story and finished the whole series within days.NO REGRETS.

I didn't enjoy this story as much as the Lost fleet series, mostly because the characters are not exactly.. heroic. It's interesting to read about the Syndicate worlds from their perspective, but its also very depressing. I will, however, continue with the series.
