Author: Jack Campbell

KDL Description:

Awakened from a cryogenic sleep to win the century-long conflict between the Alliance and the Syndicate Worlds, Captain John “Black Jack” Geary discovers that his loyalty is being questioned and suspects he is being deliberately sent on a suicide mission.

Amazon Description: The New York Times bestselling series that delivers “edge-of- your-seat combat” (Elizabeth Moon, author of the Vatta’s War series).

The Alliance woke Captain John “Black Jack” Geary from cryogenic sleep to take command of the fleet in the century-long conflict against the Syndicate Worlds. Now Fleet Admiral Geary’s victory has earned him the adoration of the people-and the enmity of politicians convinced that a living hero can be a very inconvenient thing.

Geary knows that members of the military high command and the government question his loyalty to the Alliance and fear his staging a coup-so he can’t help but wonder if the newly christened First Fleet is being deliberately sent to the far side of space on a suicide mission.
