The Lost Fleet: Rendezvous marks another successful foray of Campbell into the science fiction genre, with a satisfying superfluity of combat, elaborate and convincing substitutions for space engagement tactics, and a superbly crafted narrative, which proves capable of fully fleshing out the nuances and general keystones of war in mutual countenance.

The trouble is I have spent time visualising the characters and it jars with the illustrations. Each book has a start and an ending, so you can stop after any of the books with a sense of closure. The third book in the 'Lost Fleet' series is just like first two. In an e-mail exchange, Hemry explained to me the reasons for using a pseudonym for his newest opus.
