Default 'Lost Fleet' by Jack Campbell -- Anyone read it?

I've seen this SF Military series listed on Amazon, and elsewhere. It's gotten good reviews, and I'm considering buying the series. Has anyone read it already?


Here's part of a review of the first book.

Quote:
THE LOST FLEET: DAUNTLESS

The hero of this saga is Captain John "Black Jack" Geary, a soldier for the Alliance. He was believed lost in space and long dead after a nasty battle with the Syndicate Worlds. However, Geary is located and revived from cold sleep by an Alliance fleet a century after he went missing. He is dismayed to discover that he is now regarded as a valiant war hero, his accomplishments and valor wildly exaggerated so that the Alliance can have an unrealistic standard of perfection to which to aspire. It's not that Geary wasn't brave at the time. But he now finds himself having to live up to an image several generations of Alliance soldiers have been brought up to revere.
