Jack Campbell
While waiting for the last volume of The Lost Fleet to show up at at my library, I started the Genesis trilogy. Here we are treated to a story of the beginning of the Alliance as settlers move away from Earth and out the arms of the galaxy. Campbell does a great job sprinkling little easter eggs of people names (the ancestors) and places from Lost Fleet and providing a context for Geary's mindset in that series. Vanguard follows Rob Geary as he settles on the new planet Glenlyon, and gets drawn into protection of the fledgling planet colony from nearby pirate systems. Same stuff I love about The Lost Fleet I love about this. Quality storytelling and a well developed world and characters.
4 stars (out of 4)
