I think this book is a little more polished in its writing than book one. The story is good if you like courtroom drama but it takes a while to get into it.

Outstanding!! JAG for the Space Fleet by the author of the Lost Fleet (aka Jack Campbell).

3.5 stars. Lieutenant Sinclair discovers some anomalies that lead to a court martial of a fellow officer. I really enjoyed this but it wasn't really interesting. I was just invested in the characters.

By nearly halfway it was clear I would only finish this book because I’m stubborn and too sick to do much else today. Barely a story yet by nearly halfway? Booooring. Repetitive dull procedure taking up soooo maaany words and lines, ugh. I’m being generous with three stars, because, well I dunno, I need an excuse to have finished it? Not terrible but… Formulaic and predictable, this story is essentially like a TV episode dragged out with the addition of loads of stuff they know they couldn’t waste time on on TV. I find myself trying to remember if JAG was this predictable and dull. Guess I should have expected it to be this way, and probably something to do with why I’ve never read such a thing before. Maybe some people are into this kind of thing. Good luck to them. I prefer characters that aren’t cliche and cardboard, stories that have depth and are not predictable, and in which things happen that are interesting, without getting bogged down in routine details. Serves me right for stepping outside my usual fictional haunts.

Loved the first one, loved this one.

A Scott Turow novel in space. I loved the legal wrangling that went on in this book as part of the tale. I highly recommend this book.

This is not an action-packed adventure but it is surprising how much of a page-turner it was for me. I enjoyed it a lot.

I am so behind on my reviews. I will catch up on my reviews soon.

Good Space Navy Jag /Adventure books

This second volume in the JAG in Space series kicks. Easily one of the best military sci-fi series ever.

If you like space opera, the Honor Harrington type, you may well enjoy this series involving a young officer who finds himself in the middle of difficult situations that end up in military court. Author Henry also writes as Jack Campbell in another series, The Lost Fleet, with a central character like Bujold's Vorkosigan, Weber's Harrington and Feintuch's Beaufort. I liked this story and look forward to reading the others in this series.

This one got off to painfully slow start: the first 100 pages is filler-grade material, and I was seriously considering bailing out before Hemry got to the heart of the story: a terrible accident, a bad officer covering up his dereliction of duty, and the ensuing court-martial.

Once the book got moving, it's gripping, but it's hard to forgive the filler in front. It's a sin to waste the reader's time. 2.7/5 stars overall. Book #1 is first rate. Basically, read the first and stop, is my advice.

A good follow-on book with further development of our hero, who has been promoted since the first book in the series. A strong story of doing what's right, even when it isn't what's easy.
