The novel “The Lost Fleet: Courageous” by Jack Campbell was published for the first time in 2007. It’s the third book in The Lost Fleet series and follows “The Lost Fleet: Fearless”.

Captain John “Black Jack” Geary managed to get the Alliance fleet out of the traps set by the enemy in Syndic territory. However, it’s become increasingly difficult to use new strategies and tactical variations to prevent his moves from becoming predictable.

On his journey, Geary must manage several damaged spaceships with difficulties in repairing them without being able to stop and the problem of supplies emerges. The fleet includes support ships that have the machinery to manufacture what is needed but raw materials need to be found and that increases the risks.
