The recently colonized world of Glenlyon has learned that they're stronger when they stand with other star systems than they are on their own. But after helping their neighbor Kosatka against an invasion, Glenlyon has become a target. The aggressive star systems plan to neutralize Glenlyon before striking again.

Trapped inside the Empire, Captain Jules of Landfall has to use every deadly trick and strategy she knows to avoid recapture by the Emperor’s legions, and stay alive despite every attempt the Mages make to kill her.

The prophecy that consumes Jules’s life demands she has an heir to carry on her line. Yet how can she satisfy that while being hunted everywhere? And what might the prophecy cause to happen if she doesn’t have a child?

Now captain of her own pirate ship, Jules of Landfall faces ambushes by Mage assassins and threats from Mechanics who can’t decide whether to kill her or try to use her for their own ends.

The free ships of the pirates have never gathered around any single leader, but when the Mechanics seek to limit the power of the Empire, Jules sees an opportunity....

Als einzige verbliebene Supermacht der Erde wollen die USA ihre Dominanz auch im All durchsetzen. Sie entsenden Truppen, um die Kolonien auf dem Mond unter ihre Kontrolle bringen. Doch dort müssen Sergeant Ethan Stark und seine Kameraden nicht nur gegen verzweifelte Gegner kämpfen, sondern auch gegen mangelhafte Ausrüstung und fragwürdige politische Entscheidungen. Um das Überleben seiner Männer zu sicher, muss Stark sich entscheiden, welche Befehle er befolgt... und welche er verweigert.

Admiral John "Black Jack" Geary befindet sich auf der Jagd nach den dunklen Schiffen, die bereits zwei Sternensysteme angegriffen haben und keinen Unterschied machen zwischen Raumschiffen der Allianz und der Syndikatwelten. Er muss sie unbedingt ausschalten, bevor bekannt wird, dass es sich nicht um einen mysteriösen Feind handelt, sondern um Schiffe der Allianz - gesteuert von einer außer Kontrolle geratenen künstlichen Intelligenz.

Admiral Geary und die Crew der Dauntless haben gerade eine Eskortmission zur Erde abgeschlossen, da verschwinden plötzlich zwei von Gearys Offizieren. Die Suche nach den vermissten Männern führt ihn an den schlimmstmöglichen Ort: einen Mond, der wegen eines tödlichen Virus unter strengster Quarantäne steht. Jedes Schiff, das trotzdem dort landet, muss für immer bleiben oder wird zerstört. Wie soll Geary seine Männer retten? Und darf er es überhaupt?

Admiral Gearys Erste Flotte hat die Reise tief in den unerforschten interstellaren Raum überlebt. Jetzt hat Geary die Mission, das Midway-Sternensystem zu sichern, das sich gegen das schwächelnde Imperium der Syndikat-Welten aufgelehnt hat. Als wäre das nicht schon kompliziert genug, muss Geary dazu in das Raumgebiet der Allianz zurückkehren, nicht nur mit Vertretern der Tänzer, einer außerirdischen Spezies, sondern auch mit der Invincible.

Admiral John "Black Jack" Geary hat seinen Dienstgrad mehr als verdient. In zahllosen Gefechten hat er die Allianz zum Sieg gegen die Syndic-Welten geführt. Doch seine Vorgesetzten zweifeln an seiner Loyalität und übertragen ihm das Kommando über die Erste Flotte. Sein Auftrag: Die gefährlichen Raumgebiete jenseits der Syndic-Welten zu erforschen.

Der siebte Band der Reihe "Die Verschollene Flotte". Jack Campbell bietet dem Leser Action von schwindelerregender Rasanz. Eine höchst plausible Zukunftsvision, deren Held John "Black Jack" Geary zu den eindruckvollsten Figuren der modernen Science Fiction zählt.

Der Krieg zwischen der Allianz und den Syndikatwelten tobt weiter und Captain "Black Jack" Geary wird zum Admiral befördert, obwohl der Rat befürchtet, dass er einen Militärputsch vom Zaum brechen könnte. Gearys neuer Rang verleiht ihm die Befugnis, mit dem Feind zu verhandeln. Die Syndiks mussten gewaltige Verluste hinnehmen und sind möglicherweise endlich dazu bereit, in Friedensverhandlungen einzutreten.
