Publisher's Summary
Jack Campbell returns to the world of the New York Times best-selling Lost Fleet novels with a new action-packed military science fiction series that explores the founding of the Alliance...and the men and women who fought to create it.
Earth is no longer the center of the universe. After the invention of the faster-than-light jump drive, humanity is rapidly establishing new colonies. But the vast distances of space mean that the old order of protection and interstellar law offered by Earth has ceased to exist.
When a nearby world attacks, the new colony of Glenlyon turns to Robert Geary, a young former junior fleet officer, and Mele Darcy, a onetime enlisted marine. With nothing but improvised weapons and a few volunteers, Geary and Darcy must face down warships and armored soldiers - or die trying.
As battles rage and pirates take an increasing toll throughout the colonies, the only hope for lasting peace lies with Carmen Ochoa, a "Red" from the anarchic world of Mars, and Lochan Nakamura, a failed politician. They have a plan: to lay the groundwork for mutual defense that could someday grow into an alliance. But if their efforts don't succeed, the growing power of aggressor worlds could turn regions of space founded on freedom into battlefields between the first interstellar empires.

Gripping story, beautifully performed.
A story that captures your emotions, and has you attached to many different character's paths, with just enough mystery to keep it interesting through to the very end.

Surprisingly fresh
As an already devoted fan of The Lost Fleet and The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier series I was always going to be a fan of this series, however I was surprised by how fresh and different this first book in the series was.
A part of me assumed I would get more of the same, which I wouldn't have been disappointed by but I got a lot more than that, while still keeping the same great writing style and the amazing narration talents of Christian Rummel, the scope of this novel allowed for more exploration of land based scenarios and there was a lot more character development, whereas the previous series I had read focused very strongly on a few characters this book introduced and developed a lot, often they were not even seemingly having much to do with each other, but the story slowly and smoothly brings it all together.
There were at least 5 characters that I would consider equally well developed, and I became quite attached to all of them.
I highly recommend this series. I found it hard to stop listening, and as soon as I finished immediately bought vol 2 and 3.

A great introduction to the Prequel series
Vanguard sets the scene well for the prequel series, there are some well written characters and it's a good contrast to what the series becomes. I'd highly reccomend it, and I'd even read it prior to the lost fleet.
