THE LOST FLEET – BEYOND THE FRONTIER DEADNAUGHT PB – JACK CAMPBELL

"Captain John ""Black Jack"" Geary woke from a century of survival hibernation to take command of the Alliance fleet in the final throes of its long and bitter conflict against the Syndicate Worlds. Now Fleet Admiral Geary s victory has earned him the adoration of the people and enmity of politicians convinced that a living hero can be a very dangerous thing. Geary is charged with command of the newly christened First Fleet. Its first mission: to probe deep into the territory of the mysterious alien race. Geary knows that members of the military high command and the government fear his staging a coup, so he can t help but wonder if the fleet is being deliberately sent to the far side of space on a suicide mission."
