Dauntless
by Jack Campbell
I wanted to like this book but the writing is not great. The most interesting part of the back story was wasted early on when the author violated the first and most often taught rule of writing. "Show Don't tell." In the first chapter the main character's interesting back story is told in a three paragraph info dump. That back story was far more interesting than anything that happened in the first 150 pages.
The story has very uneven flow often caused by a story device that gave me a headache. While it might be good science to have all the spaceship to ship communication delayed by distence, it made the story super clunky and distracted me.
I picked this up for $2 bucks in goodwill and I thought it sounded fun. Maybe the further books got better but I think the author was not ready for prime time.
