[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. |
