"The Lost Fleet deserves to find a home on your bookshelf"* as New
York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell's space saga hits light
speed with an action-packed story of interstellar war.
Admiral John "Black Jack" Geary earned his rank after being revived from
cryogenic sleep to lead the Alliance to victory against the Syndicate
Worlds. But his superiors question his loyalty to the regime. Now in
command of the First Fleet, Geary is tasked with exploring the frontier
beyond Syndic space, a mission he fears deliberately puts the fleet--and
himself--in harm's way.
An encounter with the alien enigmas confirms Geary's fears. Attacked
without warning, he orders the fleet to jump star systems--only to enter
the crosshairs of another hostile alien armada. Ignoring all of the
First Fleet's attempts to communicate peaceful intentions, this system's
species sends its ships into battle on suicide runs while it guards the
exiting jump point with a fortress of incalculable power.
Now, with a group of his officers determined to eliminate this new
threat at any cost, Geary must figure out how to breach the enemy's
defenses so the fleet can reach the jump point without massive
casualties--even though the enigmas could be waiting on the other
side...
