David McK (3632 KP) rated Leviathan (The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier, #5) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Book #5 in the 'Beyond the Frontier' sub-set of the 'The Lost Fleet' series of books (so book # 11 if read in order, or roughly #14 if you include 'The Lost Stars' spin-off series), in which 'Black Jack' Geary is in pursuit of rogue AI ships, created by how own government, which have since malfunctioned and attacked Alliance ships.

Unlike the previous in the series ([b: Steadfast|17230200|Steadfast (Spellcaster, #2)|Claudia Gray|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1372091229s/17230200.jpg|23745045]), the majority of this is given over to (numerous) and relativistic space-time battles, instead of to the politicking of before. Perhaps too much so, however ...

(It's almost as if [a: Jack Campbell|55547|Jack Campbell|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1302415236p2/55547.jpg] has over-compensated from what appears to be a common criticism of the previous)

Vera Farmiga. I'm not her greatest fan but in this she is beyond Brilliant. Her and Freddie work so well together.

Last 2 seasons oh my lord, I dont think my gob shut from shock!! No spoilers dont panic but when you watch it you will see.

Sheriff Romero! Well actually Nestor Carbonell those eyes! Everytime he is on screen you get lost in those eyes!

No more seasons 😭 (1 more)

Time setting is weird.

I have no words except Freddie Highmore!

A must watch even if you have never seen psycho!! This is a prior to psycho! Freddie Highmore is fantastic in this, he's stronger in each episode. The writing & production team couldn't of chosen anyone better for the role!

I am normally an admirer of David Cronenberg’s work. His films have always at least been interesting even when they were downright strange..up until now . He really dropped the ball here , there’s no other way to say it but this is one pretentious pile of shit. The plot makes no sense whatsoever and solely consists of a billionaire on his way to get a haircut having random encounters with strangers and spouting a load of philosophical existential musings at the expense of a coherent narrative and dialogue. Robert Pattinson is terrible here as well , blank ,emotionless and unlikeable. Perhaps he didn’t know what was going on either. For me the films worst crime is it’s a David Cronenberg film . It’s beyond disappointing seeing the master of weird and wonderful put his name to something as soul destroyingly boring as this cinematic abortion.‬
