Triumphant: The Genesis Fleet, Book 3

By: Jack Campbell

Narrated by: Christian Rummel

A young fleet officer and a Marine must stand together to defend their neighbors and their colony in this return to the powerful and action-packed Genesis Fleet saga from New York Times best-selling author Jack Campbell.

The recently colonized world of Glenlyon has learned that they're stronger when they stand with other star systems than they are on their own. But after helping their neighbor Kosatka against an invasion, Glenlyon has become a target. The aggressive star systems plan to neutralize Glenlyon before striking again.

An attack is launched against Glenlyon's orbital facility with forces too powerful for fleet officer Rob Geary to counter using their sole remaining destroyer, Saber. Mele Darcy's Marines must repel repeated assaults while their hacker tries to get into the enemy systems to give Saber a fighting chance.

To survive, Glenlyon needs more firepower, and the only source for that is their neighbor Kosatka or other star systems that have so far remained neutral. But Kosatka is still battling the remnants of the invasion forces on its own world, and if it sends its only remaining warship to help will be left undefended against another invasion. While Carmen Ochoa fights for the freedom of Kosatka, Lochan Nakamura must survive assassins as he tries to convince other worlds to join a seemingly hopeless struggle.

As star systems founded by people seeking freedom and autonomy, will Kosatka, Glenlyon and others be able to overcome deep suspicions of surrendering any authority to others? Will the free star systems stand together in a new Alliance, or fall alone?

love the backstory

If you're a Lost Fleet/Lost Stars fan, this is a great boo and series. it goes back to the Republic's origin story. And the Epilogue is well epic.

couldn't stop listening

loved it. action packed, with great story line. treat yourself and listen to whole series.

Disappointed

In my opinion, there was way too much political intrigue to make the story interesting! I realize that authors need to add "filler", but always hope it would be more action oriented!

Rambling

There's a lot of dialogue that contributes nothing to the story. The core story, which is good, could have been told in 3 hours.

I always like Campbell's space navy stuff.

Different scale than his other stories, dealing with a handful of non-capitol ships and a few dozen Marines.

Great conclusion to an interesting back story

I always enjoy it when authors come up with a well thought out back story to their main series plot and this small mini series does not disappoint. good read, full of interesting characters that you can get invested in. definitely worth the read, even if you are not familiar with the main parent series at all.

Excellent Series

Prequels are in vogue. This series is an excellent prequel series on the formation of the Alliance. I especially enjoyed the Epilogue.

A good ending.

A good ending for a great trilogy. loved the epilogue and how it answered some questions I had.

Awesome!

Another great book from Jack Campbell! The narration was fantastic as well and made a great story even better.

Where’s the next in series?

I love these stories! These 3 books could go a bit further in the back story of the forming of the Alliance.

The epilogue makes the obvious connections with the main characters of the first series. However, I which there was that 1 book more to drill a bit deeper.

The political side maybe?
Just had to through that out there.

Great short series!!

Now need more of Black Jack!
Already devoured the latest, can’t wait for the next!!
