Things I noticed about this book:

#1 - It now says NY Times Best Selling Author at the top of the cover. Apparently his last book Relentless sold enough copies to make the list so congrats! It’s very well deserved as these books are thoroughly enjoyable.

#2 - They dropped the whole book 6 of 6, with this volume. in further research and directly from the authors website, we have the following news:

“I have contracts for two follow-on series. One will be called The Lost Fleet - Beyond the frontier. These will continue to follow Black Jack and his companions as they deal with events following VICTORIOUS. The other series (The Phoenix Stars) is set in a formerly Syndic star system as the people there cope with the ongoing collapse of the Syndicate worlds.”

Unfortunately, however there is no release date information on either series.

#3 - This book wraps up the story lines form the previous 5 books pretty well. Alliance beats the Syndics and Alliance meets the aliens.
