Jack Campbell's New York Times bestselling The Lost Fleet sci-fi adventure series has transported legions of fans out of this world and into the heat of battle. Now, readers will discover how it all began--not only for John "Black Jack" Geary and his descendant Commander Michael Geary, but for those who fought and sacrificed so much alongside them. Spanning from before the Alliance/Syndicate war to the devastating initial conflagration that would lead to decades of unremitting conflict and beyond into full-blown war, from the Geary's own epic heroics to where their surviving compatriots found their own fates, this volume reveals the triumphs, tragedies, and life-altering events that made these warriors living legends in their universe. Packed with high-stakes military action and drama as well as humor and humanity, this volume explores the foundations of The Lost Fleet series as well as past exploits of its most popular characters--and also includes the novelization of the Lost Fleet graphic novel Corsair , which was praised as "a Tom Clancy thriller in space" ( Publishers Weekly ). Praise for The Lost Fleet novels: "Some of the best military science fiction on the shelves today."--SF Site "If there's ever a space war, the Lost Fleet series could well be the military's manual."--Audible "The whole series is worth a read.Fast paced adventure.
