I would probably only give the writing itself four stars but this is worth five to me for the many subjects dear to me that are included/explored by leading characters who share my values. That's a very rare find in this American society. Below are a few of the book's eco-highlights I listed on ...             Dauntless (The Lost Fleet, Book 1)104 reviews Jack Campbell Ace, 2006 Clean and Absorbing! + Worth it! + A classic Space Opera + Some of the best sci-fi I've read + Superb military sci-fi             Gabriel's Ghost27 reviews Linnea Sinclair Bantam, 2005 complex, exciting, and satisfying + a non-stop science fiction action adventure romance + Holy cow!

I loved this book. It's not typical military sci fi, which is what attracted me to it. The main character is witty and shrewed, obviously very intelligent.
