2 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2017/06/24/...

I really wanted to like my first venture into the military sci-fi of Jack Campbell, but sadly it was just not meant to be. To be fair though, Vanguard is the first book of The Genesis Fleet, a new prequel series to Campbell’s The Lost Fleet which I have not read, so it’s possible that I may be missing some of the context required to fully appreciate this book. Still, to the novel’s credit, I also think it was set up to be 2 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2017/06/24/...

I really wanted to like my first venture into the military sci-fi of Jack Campbell, but sadly it was just not meant to be. To be fair though, Vanguard is the first book of The Genesis Fleet, a new prequel series to Campbell’s The Lost Fleet which I have not read, so it’s possible that I may be missing some of the context required to fully appreciate this book. Still, to the novel’s credit, I also think it was set up to be a perfectly fine jumping on point, so that, at least, was not a source of my issues. It actually took me a while to gather my thoughts and put my finger on what didn’t work, because after all, the book had an interesting premise, the characters were awesome, and the writing style was as good as I remember from the author’s fantasy novels, but ultimately I think it was the execution of it all that failed to hook me.

As I said, Vanguard is the start of a new prequel series, meant to explore the founding of the Alliance, one of the two major human powers involved in the interstellar war featured in The Lost Fleet books. While the technology for faster-than-light travel is still relatively new at this point, Earth is already no longer the only major hub for humanity in the universe, with new colonies springing up on more and more worlds. That also means, however, that the old order of law and protection has ceased to exist. Earth forces no longer have the will or resources to police the systems, and as a result, space piracy and corruption are on the rise.

In other words, it’s everyone for themselves as the rules start to break down and a lawless frontier mentality quickly takes hold. As aggressive worlds begin to prey on the weak, a new pacifist colony called Glenlyon is one of the first to fall victim to this rash of unruliness. Threatened by an enemy warship in their system, the desperate colony has little in the way of defense and thus are forced to turn to a group of former Earth soldiers for help.

At first, things were great with this book. I really enjoyed how it began. Something about the idea of wild space really appeals to me, and humanity’s uncontrolled spread through the universe was a good backdrop to the chaotic events taking place in this story. Life in the new colonies is full of danger and uncertainties, and the writing really gets that point across. In addition to the attack on Glenlyon, we also get to see how settlers traveling to new worlds face the risk of being captured and enslaved by pirates, or how new colonies can be the targets of sabotage or persecution. Only a few are willing to stand up for justice and do what’s right.

Which brings us to the characters, who are all compelling at least on paper. Heading up the main cast is former junior Earth fleet officer Robert Geary, whose name should be significant to fans of The Lost Fleet, since the character is supposed to be an ancestor of the main protagonist from the original series. Up next is a onetime enlisted Marine named Mele Darcy, a strong and capable woman trying to follow her own moral compass. Then there’s Lochan Nakamura, a disgraced politician who has left his old life behind for a chance at a brand new start, and he was probably one of the more interesting of the main characters. And finally, Carmen Ochoa was my favorite—an Earth official from Mars who was in charge of “conflict resolutions”, she has her own reasons for getting into this mix.

Everything was going well for the first few chapters, but then everything fell apart. One of the problems, I think, was pacing. I couldn’t help but feel much of the first half of the book could have been compressed because so much was the story here was filled with aimless back-and-forth between the characters, resulting in a narrative that kept spinning its wheels in place. The characters themselves I found intriguing, but my disinterest in their individual plot threads made it a struggle to connect with them on any deeper level. If I were in the habit of abandoning books, I might have thrown in the towel right then and there, but I pressed on in the hopes things would get better. The good news is, the story did pick up again after a while, but by then it was too late to turn my disappointment around, and I’m afraid even the superb action scenes at the end could not save the book’s lackluster and forgettable middle sections.

In the end, I suppose the potential of the story was there, but it was presented in a way that tried my patience and wore me down. This is not my first experience with the author, but this is my first time trying his military science fiction and admittedly I was tempted by the promise of a new series, new characters, and new stories when in retrospect I probably should have started with The Lost Fleet. You can be sure that’s in my plans now, and who knows, perhaps I will even revisit this series once I’m done to see if it gives me a new perspective. For now though, I’ll probably set The Genesis Fleet aside. ...more

I really enjoyed this book. It's not perfect. But it was entertaining enough. My main complaint about the first few volumes of the Lost Fleet, which were the first of this author's books that I read, was that it didn't really focus much on the people, and instead focused more on the numbers and the battle maneuvers. This books is pretty much the opposite, which I quite enjoyed. It has a sort of dystopian feel to it, rather than the military sci-fi that Jack Campbell is most well known for.

This books is pretty much the opposite, which I quite enjoyed. It has a sort of dystopian feel to it, rather than the military sci-fi that Jack Campbell is most well known for. And I thought that it was a nice change of pace from the Lost Fleet and the Lost Stars. I did laugh out loud at the epilogue/teaser for the next book.

I see a lot of negative reviews for this book where the main complaint seems to be that Jack Campbell still writes like Jack Campbell, as if he is suddenly going to write in a completely different style from his previous books because he's starting a new series. Expecting an author to improve with new books is not unreasonable, but expecting an author to suddenly become a different author because you don't like his style is.

I do have one little complaint, though. The book does jump around quite a bit. There's four or five viewpoint characters, in two separate star systems. And it kind of randomly jumps between characters and locations without much warning. It seems like it jumps around in mid-scene sometimes, leaving things undone, and moving on to the other storyline before this one can progress much. The author seems to be struggling a bit with the multiple viewpoints and locations. Pretty much all of his books are single viewpoint books. The only exception before now has been his Pillars of Reality Audible series, which he didn't struggle holding together much, because the two viewpoint characters were usually in the same location. Here, he's definitely having trouble knowing when the appropriate time to cut to another character or storyline actually is. And it leaves a lot of the scenes in the book feeling like they're ending abruptly, and leaving things unsaid. I don't mind it too much, but it does add a bit of a whiplash effect to reading that some people may find annoying.

If you enjoy Jack Campbell's books, you'll probably enjoy this one. If you've never read the Lost Fleet, or heard of Jack Campbell, this is probably not the book to start on with him. If you're not really a fan of his work, well, don't expect him to suddenly become a different author in his newest series. ...more

Military sci-fi is a genre that should be way better than it usually is. It revolves around action, intelligent strategy, neat worlds, political conflict, and badasses smoking cigars. This should not be hard to make interesting, but somehow dozens of authors always fail to do so. And "Vanguard" is just like most of its contemporaries, a few good ideas wrapped up in a shit package.

More reviews (and no fluff) on the blog http://surrealtalvi.wordpress.com/

As much as I loved the Lost Fleet series (all of them) this fell a bit flat for me. Likely the narrator from the Audible version I listened to had something to do with it. But it was a case of too many characters, not enough interesting action, and people I just didn't care to follow. As well, a lot of it felt like something I have read before in a Campbell book, just rejigged. Things picked up in the end nicely but it was a hard slog through most of the book.

Story: As Earth expands, things are not always peaceful in the outer reaches. Into this world of pirates and claim jumpers, a group of people will come together to fight to protect a new colony.

The cast is quite large and the story feels like it was culled directly from stories of the settling of the "Wild West' in the United States. From 'sailors' being shanghaid, claims and claim jumping on planets, and might making right in lawless areas that Earth justice just can't reach. Readers will likely assume the book is about Geary, ancestor of the protagonist from the Lost Fleet. But he shares main character duties with 6 other people so this book has a bigger scope.

As with all Jack Campbell books, there are decent men and women just trying to do right in the world. The men will be simple and calm; the women will be crafty and overemotional. That the males are always going to be clueless about the emo females is a given in a Jack Campbell novel. Just once, I'd like to see a world that has emo/overemotional men, simple and non-crafty women, men NOT confused about women and what they want, men in touch with their own feelings, and perhaps even non hetero characters, for once. Vanguard, as with most of Campbell's books, feels like it is populated by characters from the 1960s only.

Campbell has a chance with Vanguard to explain many things that led up to what we know in the Lost Fleet series. Perhaps the biggest discussion in this book was how the religion of 'ancestor worship' came about - more as a way to make sense of the universe as man expanded. But there are other little tidbits as well if one reads closely.

Perhaps the main difference between this and other Campbell books is that he starts really big and then by the end of the book narrows things down. In the Lost Fleet series, he starts small - with one man - and then builds up a world around him. It means that until the characters start coming together, the story can feel like it lacks connection and immediacy.

The Audible narration was, to be honest, bad. I'm tired of the "If he has a Scottish last name, he has to talk in a Scottish accent' thing. E.g., my last name is German but no one has spoken German in my ancestry for 350 years. The narrator should have a better way of distinguishing characters than to just give everyone an accent based on their last name.

So although I never really got into Vanguard, it was by no means a terrible book. Admittedly, I have to put a lot of the blame on the narration for turning me off. I am fairly sure it was the same narrator as the Lost Fleet series but here I felt like I was listening to the same characters over and over again. ...more

It is set in the same universe as the previously mentioned ones but plays out a lot earlier when humanity were in the early stages of expanding via FTL travel. The writing style, characters, military action is very much the same which means it is quite good. I do think the author is overdoing the computer hacking stuff a bit though. I mean we’re well aware of computer hacking issues today and the need to protect, especially military, hardware. This is way into the future and even though this hardware is supposed to be old from the view of the characters in the book there’s really no way it can be so easy to hack it as is done in the book. At least not to the extent it is done.

It is a nice adventure story about a fledgling new colony that is about that is about to discover that not everyone is playing nice, that pirates are very very real and that it’s a long long way to Earth and the nearest sheriff.

I do quite like the main protagonist, the hero if you so will, as well as the two “sub-heroes”. Although our hero is learning as he goes he is a quite competent person and doesn’t hesitate in doing his duty.

The one gripe I have about the book is that the author is going down the same rabbit hole as he did in the other series. That is he drags in way too much useless politics and bean counting. Our hero is constantly screwed over by useless and incompetent politicians that simply do not understand the danger they are in. At least in this book they are mostly not evil, just dumb asses. Come on, even after our hero as cleaned up their mess and saved the day the screw him over again.

Apart from that I really enjoyed the book. Also, the small cliffhanger at the end, which is really opening up the next book, is kind of showing the finger at previously mentioned useless politicians. ...more
