After obtaining a ' hypernet key' from a Syndic traitor, they send a large fleet through a hypernet gate to directly attack the Syndic home-world, but are ambushed by overwhelming Syndic forces.ĭuring the approach to the Syndic home-world, the fleet discovers the escape pod of Captain John Geary in an abandoned star system. The Alliance has been fighting the Syndicate Worlds (a union of planets under a tyrannical, corporate-like government) for a century. This is a prequel trilogy written after the main series was finished. This is the most recent work of the author. The author, however, has continued the Lost Fleet series with three spin-offs: Beyond the Frontier, focusing on the main characters from the Lost Fleet The Lost Stars, focusing on the Syndicate Worlds Outlands, picking up where Leviathan leaves off as well as a prequel series, The Genesis Fleet. Awakened after being discovered during a secret mission that turns out to be an enemy trap, he is suddenly dropped into the role of fleet commander and expected to live up to the legend that has grown around him. In his absence, he has been made into a renowned hero in the Alliance, but his legend and actions are used to justify poor tactics and decisions. The protagonist of the story is discovered floating in a suspended animation escape pod one hundred years after he made an 'heroic last stand' against an enemy fleet. The series is set one-hundred-plus years into an interstellar war between two different human cultures, the Alliance and the Syndicate.
