10yrs of Jack Campbell’s LOST FLEET Series in the UK!

Posted on Monday, February 1st, 2021

Today, we want to draw your attention to Jack Campbell‘s acclaimed, best-selling Lost Fleet series, which turns ten this year! Published by Titan Books in the UK, the books are superb military science fiction, the series has expanded to include two spin-off series and a prequel series.

The original series contains six novels: DAUNTLESS, FEARLESS, COURAGEOUS, VALIANT, RELENTLESS, and VICTORIOUS. In case you’ve never had the pleasure of reading the series, here’s the synopsis for the first book…

After a hundred years of brutal war against the Syndics, the Alliance fleet is marooned deep in enemy territory, weakened and demoralised and desperate to make it home.

Their fate rests in the hands of Captain “Black Jack” Geary, a man who had been presumed dead but then emerged from a century of survival hibernation to find his name had become legend. Forced by a cruel twist of fate into taking command of the fleet, Geary must find a way to inspire the battle-hardened and exhausted men and women of the fleet or face certain annihilation by their enemies.

The Beyond the Frontier series includes DREADNAUGHT, INVINCIBLE, GUARDIAN, STEADFAST, and LEVIATHAN.

The Lost Star series includes TARNISHED KNIGHT, PERILOUS SHIELD, IMPERFECT SWORD, and SHATTERED SPEAR.

The aforementioned prequel series, Genesis Fleet, is currently ongoing, and the first three novels are out now: VANGUARD, ASCENDANT, and TRIUMPHANT. The fourth novel in the series, BOUNDLESS, is due to be published later this year — we’ll bring you more details and a cover as soon as we have them.

Jack Campbell’s LOST STARS: SHATTERED SPEAR out now in the UK!

Posted on Friday, May 6th, 2016

Jack Campbell‘s SHATTERED SPEAR is out today in the UK! The fourth novel in Campbell’s Lost Stars series is published by Titan Books. Here’s the synopsis…

The Syndicate Worlds continue to splinter as more star systems pledge allegiance to President Gwen Iceni, General Artur Drakon, and the new government they’re establishing at Midway. But the toxic legacy of Syndicate rule continues to undermine their efforts as the rebels encounter difficulty trusting one another and believing their new leaders’ promises of freedom from tyranny.

Before Iceni and Drakon can put their house in order, they must deal with an even greater threat. An enigma warship has appeared and vanished near a Syndic colony. If the aliens are capable of jumping into other human-occupied star systems, then billions of people could be vulnerable to a hostile invasion fleet anywhere they choose to strike.

But an even greater vulnerability lies with Iceni and Drakon, as a once-trusted adviser-turned-saboteur plans revenge…

Titan Books also publishes the first three novels in the Lost Stars series — TARNISHED KNIGHT, PERILOUS SHIELD and IMPERFECT SWORD. Campbell’s Lost Fleet, Beyond the Frontier, JAG In Space and Stark’s War series are also published in the UK by Titan Books.

UK Cover Reveal: IMPERFECT SWORD by Jack Campbell

Posted on Tuesday, August 26th, 2014

That eye-catching piece above will grace the cover of the UK edition of Jack Campbell‘s third Lost Stars novel, IMPERFECT SWORD. The novel is due to be published in October 2014, by Titan Books. Here’s the synopsis…

President Gwen Iceni and General Artur Drakon have successfully liberated the Midway Star System — but the former rulers of the Syndicate Worlds won’t surrender the region without a fight. The dictatorial regime has ordered the ex-Syndicate CEOs terminated with extreme prejudice and the system’s citizens punished for their defiance.

Outnumbered and led by junior officers hastily promoted in the wake of the uprising, Midway’s warships are no match for the fleet massing and preparing to strike. But the Syndicate isn’t the only threat facing Iceni and Drakon. Another former CEO has taken control of the Ulindi Star System, the first calculated move toward establishing his own little empire.

With Drakon’s ground forces dispatched to Ulindi, Midway erupts in violence as Syndicate agents and other, unknown enemies stoke a renewed revolt against Iceni’s power — leaving both her and Drakon vulnerable to trusted officers just waiting for an opportune moment to betray them…

IMPERFECT SWORD follows TARNISHED KNIGHT and PERILOUS SHIELD. The series is published in the US by Ace Books (Penguin).

It’s still a little early for reviews to be cropping up, but Publishers Weekly have managed to get their hands on a copy and had this to say: ‘Campbell’s third Lost Stars military SF adventure (after The Lost Stars: PERILOUS SHIELD) delivers all his signature attractions… Campbell’s focus on the details of the Midway fleet and ground forces makes for a fast-paced thrill ride that leaps nimbly from harrowing to heartbreaking to heroic. The tentative steps of establishing a new society are no less intense. Both new and returning readers will dive right in.’

Happy Release Day, Jack Campbell – PERILOUS SHIELD

Posted on Friday, October 11th, 2013

Today, the highly-anticipated next book in Jack Campbell‘s Lost Stars series hits shelves! PERILOUS SHIELD is the second book in the series, and is published by Titan Books. Here is the synopsis…

Following a successful coup, the leaders of the rebel Midway Star System struggle to forge a government free enough to please its citizens yet strong enough to secure power. But in a world where former rulers have become new foes, an alien threat to humanity may turn old adversaries into uncertain allies.

General Artur Drakon knows three words describe someone who confides in a Syndicate CEO: Stupid. Betrayed. Dead. Despite his misgivings, he partnered with another former CEO to overthrow Syndic forces. Now, with an enigma fleet menacing their hard-earned independence, he can ill afford to trust her—or lose her support.

President Gwen Iceni believes Midway is humanity’s defense against the enigmas. Syndicate training taught her self-preservation in a crisis, yet she’s determined to fight for the star system’s fate…even if it means joining forces with Drakon—and an officer of the hated Alliance.

Their plan places the Midway flotilla at great risk in hopes of greater reward: recruiting the personnel necessary to man warships against the enigmas. But before facing the alien advance, Drakon and Iceni must survive hidden dangers closer to home: all-too-human threats that could jeopardize Midway’s freedom…and their own lives.

PERILOUS SHIELD is the sequel to TARNISHED KNIGHT. The Lost Stars series is set in Campbell’s international best-selling Lost Fleet universe (also published by Titan in the UK).
