The Lost Fleet: Relentless Review

The Lost Fleet series is spectacular space opera, and "Relentless" is the best of all. It leaves you with that feeling you experienced when Luke Skywalker blows up the Death Star, when Nicholas Seafort defeats the "fish," and when they haul the "bug" out of its hole in Starship Troopers. You revel for the heroes, and mourn for the end of a series that has given you such joy.
"Relentless" is upbeat science fiction in the tradition of golden-age space opera, by authors such as Niven, Heinlein, and Burroughs. It is fiction that has not succumbed to the anti-male attitudes of the most recent SF authors such as Elizabeth Moon, who relegate all male characters into nothing but venality, and who elevate all female characters into near-goddess status. Yes, one of the characters, Victoria Rione is a thorn in the hero's side, but she's also important as a voice of his conscience, and an obstacle to overcome. And many of the leaders of the fleet are female. Most important, nobody has a lock on virtue, there are both male and female heroes and cowards.
In addition, this is hard SF, where the author pays attention to detail. Physics are taken seriously. The only scientific complaint I might have is that there's no mention of time-dilation, nor the effect that spending significant periods at one or two tenths of light-speed might have. (from what I can tell, they're not significant, but should have been mentioned).
Read this series from the beginning, and enjoy it. It's WELL worth the money, for those who love positive, golden-age-style science fiction.
