New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet novels
have enthralled listeners with "fast-paced adventure."* Now his hero
Admiral John "Black Jack" Geary proves once again why he's one of the
most popular modern science fiction heroes.
Admiral Geary's First Fleet of the Alliance has survived the journey
deep into unexplored interstellar space, a voyage that led to the
discovery of new alien species, including a new enemy and a possible
ally. Now Geary's mission is to ensure the safety of the Midway Star
System, which has revolted against the Syndicate Worlds empire -- an
empire that is on the brink of collapse.
To complicate matters further, Geary also needs to return safely to
Alliance space not only with representatives of the Dancers, an alien
species, but also with Invincible, a captured warship that could
possibly be the most valuable object in human history. Despite the peace
treaty that Geary must adhere to at all costs, the Syndicate Worlds
regime threatens to make the fleet's journey back grueling and perilous.
And even if Geary escorts Invincible and the Dancers' representatives
home unharmed, the Syndics' attempts to spread dissent and political
unrest may have already sown the seeds of the Alliance's destruction...
