"Victorious (The Lost Fleet, Book 6)" by Jack Campbell
https://www.amazon.com/Victorious-Jack-Campbell/dp/0441018696/

Book number six 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 2010 that I bought
new on Amazon. I have purchased the first book in the five book sequel
series and plan to read it 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 Geary may be a hundred years out of date but some things like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.

Captain Geary and the Lost Alliance Fleet have reached Alliance space.
But the Alliance council promotes him to Fleet Admiral, resupplies and
fixes his fleet, and sends him back to the Syndic's home star system to
either come to a peace agreement or defeat their home fleet. But the
Syndics have one more trick in their pocket.
