Dauntless

A very very good first book for a space opera!!!
Captain Jack Geary, or as he is known by every person in Alliance World or Syndic World(stands for Syndicate) Black Jack Geary, became legendary as a result of his death when the Syndics declared war on the Alliance, not only that, he saved a lot of his crew, when he ordered them to abandon ship and stayed behind to see to it!!!!
Fast forward a 100years, much has changed and suddenly, a ship was able to pick up a errant escape pod, inside was the legendary Black Jack Geary Hero and Legend!!!
The story open up right at the moment as the Alliance fleet was supposedly on it's way to winning the war, as they have penetrated deep into the Syndic homeworld, unknowingly closing the trap against themselves!!!
Well, what follows is the Legend's efforts(seemingly effortless), ideas(a lot happens after 100 years) and attitude......suddenly an astounding secret.......

Book two please!!!!!

It's been a good long while since I've read a sci-fi novel, and longer yet since I've read a GOOD sci-fi novel.

This one is really amazing. It's just the right blend of science and military sci-fi- the fleet formation and description of the battle were vivid and amazing. I am not always a fan of military sci-fi, but this reminded me of some of my favourite elements of The Expanse series by James S. A. Corey.

I'm glad this book doesn't go into unnecessary meandering. The story is simple, save the fleet from the enemies along with the macguffin - in this case a Key. It doesn't take long for the action to kick in and the journey to begin.

And what a journey this is going to be.

A promising start to what to becomes an excellent hard scifi series. The moment Jack Geary says to the Syndic commander simply, “No.” is the embodiment of this kick-off volume. I've gone back to that bookmark and number of times for a re-visit into this universe. Beyond this book it only gets better as the series continues and even splits into three Series. Highly recommended.
