Boundless

Written by Jack Campbell

Narrated by Christian Rummel

Admiral John "Black Jack" Geary may have saved the Alliance only to destroy it, in this thrilling and eagerly awaited continuation of the New York Times bestselling series.

Geary believed in the Alliance. Even when he uncovered overwhelming evidence that the highest echelons of the government and fleet command were involved in secret programs and prison camps, he believed it was worth saving. And that his duty was to see that justice was served even though some factions feared that revealing the truth would cause the Alliance to crumble.

But after narrowly surviving two assassination attempts when he brings evidence of the misdeeds to the capital star system, Geary realizes that some have decided the easiest way to make the Alliance's problems go away is to get rid of him. He finds himself ordered to undertake a perilous new mission outside of the reaches of human-occupied space while the Senate clashes over the evidence.

Geary's warships must escort a diplomatic and scientific mission across the dangerous, disintegrating remnants of the Syndicate Worlds empire. But even if he can make it to Midway Star System, the gateway to alien-controlled space, Geary will face former Syndicate officials who have rebelled and regard the Alliance with deep suspicion. And that will be the easy part. . . .

Reviews for Boundless

[karlstar_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Admiral Jack Geary and his fleet return to Alliance space after their latest adventure, to answer charges from the government - while trying not to overthrow it. They are then sent off on another mission, mostly to get Black Jack out of the way. Picking up the pieces of the mess that's left of parts of the Alliance and Syndic worlds, the fleet has to try to keep the peace while not starting another war and try to find out more about the aliens in the area. Very typical of this series, a little bit repetitive, still a fun space opera.

New arenas for Black Jack to explore. But his journey there is fraught with old problems and prejudices. A nice spin-off to this continually interesting series.

After Admiral Geary turns over his evidence to the Alliance Senate, he is sent to take a fleet through Syndic space to Midway, to tie its hyperlink gate into the Alliance network, and then onward to Dancer space, to try to get to know those aliens better. Dangers both within and without beset the fleet, leading to some thrilling action sequences.Those looking for realistic, non-jingoistic naval SF are in for a treat with the Lost Fleet series and its follow-on series.
