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Captain John “Black Jack” Geary may be a hundred years out of date but some things like tactics of war spaceship fleets never go away.
