David McK (3562 KP) rated Valiant (The Lost Fleet, #4) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The 4th entry in Jack Campbell's (the pen-name of John Hemry) Lost Fleet series, this picks up almost directly from the end of the precious novel (Courageous), where the Alliance fleet - caught far behind enemy lines - was almost trapped and destroyed by the Syndic forces in Lakota.

This novel further develops the relationships between 'Black Jack' Geary and the commander of his flagship, Tanya Desjani, as well as between Geary and co-president Victoria Rione. Starting and finishing with space battles, it also sees the news of the alien intelligence on the far side of Syndic space becoming surhter circulated among the fleet, as well as conspirators within his own fleet stepping up their attacks on Geary.

Meh

I was expecting so much from this movie and it didn't pay off. I thought this was going to be about "what if superman was a normal kid who got bullied and so used his new found powers for revenge." Instead we got "strange psycho alien kid who used to be completely normal and now he is insane because reasons." Not gonna lie, the gore was slightly entertaining, but the kid actor was off-putting; and not in a horror movie kind of way.
The concept of the movie had the potential to be something special and give something different to the superhero genre, but instead we got another hash of "The Omen" movies.
