Dauntless by Jack Campbell
4.0

An interesting concept - John Geary dies at the start of what becomes an interstellar war, and is idolized by the Alliance. He is THE big hero of the navy. A hundred years later, an Alliance fleet stumbles across a lifepod containing John Geary himself! Events thrust him to assume command of the fleet. 100 years of war has reshaped both sides, pumping out ship after ship, crew after crew to run off and fight. The old ways of fighting naval engagements is lost, and John trains the fleet.

So - fair story, fair characters. I've been finding the books entertaining.

I much prefer his Pillars of Reality series, and the Legacy of Dragons books.
