The Genesis Fleet : Vanguard

The New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Fleet novels returns with a brand new military science fiction series

After the invention of the faster-than-light jump drive, humanity is rapidly establishing new colonies. But the vast distances of space also mean that the old order of protection and interstellar law offered by Earth has ceased to exist.

When a nearby world attacks, the new colony of Glenlyon turns to Robert Geary, a young former junior fleet officer, and Mele Darcy, a former enlisted Marine. With nothing but improvised weapons and a few volunteers, Geary and Darcy must face down warships and armoured soldiers.

And as battles rage and pirates take an increasing toll, Carmen Ochoa (a “Red” from the anarchic world of Mars) and Lochan Nakamura (a failed politician from an Old Colony) hope to lay the foundations for mutual defence that could someday grow into an Alliance. But if their efforts fail, the growing power of aggressor worlds could turn regions of space founded on freedom into the first Interstellar empires.
