The Lost Stars
Jack Campbell · 4 novels · 2012–2016
The Lost Stars follows the aftermath of Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet series from the other side, centering on officials and officers of a former Syndicate Worlds star system trying to build a workable, less authoritarian government after the central Syndicate regime collapses. It leans into the political and administrative difficulty of building something new atop a system built for control, alongside the military threats still facing the fledgling state. The four novels form a continuous story set within the wider Lost Fleet universe.
