+[GoodReads Summary](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23766830-ad-astra):
+In Jack Campbell’s New York Times bestselling Lost Fleet series, Campbell’s
+hero Captain Black Jack Geary explores the furthest reaches of space. Here,
+Campbell explores what kinds of problems mankind might face as our horizons
+expand. The third in a series of collections of Campbell’s short stories
+includes some of Campbell’s favorite stories, and some of his earliest. A
+brand new author’s note accompanies each story.

+
+While short stories may not give a general sense of the whole -- 'cause they
+are, after all, short -- the stories here are very interesting, and very good
+sci-fi.
+
+Honestly, it's really hard to give some indication of how the stories go
+without going into spoilers.
+
+But, again, there are very good stories, some even touching, some discussing
+social issues (without being "in your face", like any good Star Trek episode).
+
+And the narration is pretty good too. Easy to read, easy to keep going.

+This is another book coming from a book farm where people write about things

+If you want to learn about docker, stay away from this book. It will do more
+harm than good.
