Review: We have slowed down to a crawl

The first four books in the series seemed to move along at a good pace, we had progress and pitfalls, and overall I was happy with the outcome.  The last few books seemed to have completely halted the plot and began to move backwards.  I was so excited after Jacob took over the titan and recruited his refugee crew.  I felt there was going to be an epic privateer rampage against Galactic Republic.  Then they got their butt's handed to them in a series of engagements, they have not put any of the new technology from freehold to use, and continue to have all their assets get destroyed in a series of bad engagements.Also I'd like to point out that the Captain of the ship, IS NEVER ON HIS SHIP.  There is no reason why he needs to go out on these escapades, when he has thousands of crew who are trained to do exactly what he requires.  It is complete rediculousness.  Yet the entire time he is worshipped like some brilliantly talented captain, when the only decisions he has made is to abandon his crew and go on some self indulgent mission.  I am going to end saying I have rarely been this excited about a series after the first few books only to be let down with tons of filler and no action.  I feel like this series has turned into some kind of science fiction soap opera.
