"Dauntless (The Lost Fleet, Book 1) by Jack Campbell
    https://www.amazon.com/Dauntless-Lost-Fleet-Book-1/dp/0441014186/

Book number one of a six book military science fiction series.  Plus 
several sequel series consisting of fourteen books total.  I read the 
well printed and well bound MMPB published by Ace in 2006.  I have 
purchased the five sequel books in this series and plan to read them soon.

I did not know John G. Hemry was the real name for Jack Campbell as I 
purchased the Stark series quite a while back and enjoyed it also.

The Alliance sent a war fleet into the Syndic home star system via the 
new FTL network to defeat the Syndics once and for all.  However, the 
Syndics knew that they were coming and destroyed many of the Alliance 
space warships.  Now the Alliance warships need to leave or be destroyed 
one by one.

The Alliance admiral left Captain John “Black Jack” Geary in charge of 
the Alliance fleet before he and his staff were murdered by the Syndics 
in the negotiations.  Captain John “Black Jack” Geary was found by the 
Alliance fleet on their way to Syndic space, in stasis in an old 
emergency pod.  A hundred year old emergency pod.

Captain John “Black Jack” Geary may be a hundred years out of date but 
some things like tactics of war spaceship fleets never go away.
