Book number one of a six book military science fiction series.  Plus
several sequel series consisting of fourteen books total.  I read the
well printed and well bound MMPB published by Ace in 2006.  I have
purchased the five sequel books in this series and plan to read them soon.

I did not know John G. Hemry was the real name for Jack Campbell as I
purchased the Stark series quite a while back and enjoyed it also.

The Alliance sent a war fleet into the Syndic home star system via the
new FTL network to defeat the Syndics once and for all.  However, the
Syndics knew that they were coming and destroyed many of the Alliance
space warships.  Now the Alliance warships need to leave or be destroyed
one by one.

The Alliance admiral left Captain John “Black Jack” Geary in charge of
the Alliance fleet before he and his staff were murdered by the Syndics
in the negotiations.  Captain John “Black Jack” Geary was found by the
Alliance fleet on their way to Syndic space, in stasis in an old
emergency pod.  A hundred year old emergency pod.

Captain John “Black Jack” Geary may be a hundred years out of date but
some things like tactics of war spaceship fleets never go away.

One of the many SF takes on Xenophon.  I think I've read all the Black Jack
books (I skipped the spinoff series), but it seems like there hasn't been
a new one for a few years.
