The Lost Fleet Omnibus: Books 1-5

A Space Opera Adventure

By: Sarah Hawke

Narrated by: Richard Brock, Raya Kane, Wayne Kelly

The Complete Series in a single offering!

Two centuries ago, the First Expansionary Fleet set off to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, hoping to explore, colonize, and conquer new worlds in the name of humanity. But when the fleet was violently and unexpectedly thrown off course, the colonists found themselves trapped in an unexplored region of the galaxy—and caught right in the middle of a bloody interstellar war.

Now, after generations of relentless fighting, a tentative truce has finally ushered in an era of growth and prosperity. Yet as hardline forces on all sides conspire to break the ceasefire, humanity finds itself in need of a new type of soldier—one who can win the peace even while the galaxy arms for war.

Major Kal Zeris is the next generation of Dominion trooper, a powerful psionic soldier capable of withstanding—and dishing out—superhuman amounts of punishment. Born naturally on a crime-infested border world, Kal has learned to do whatever it takes to survive. But when he finds himself paired up with a sheltered young fleet cadet, he quickly learns that despite what her flawless, genetically engineered body may have given her in looks and smarts, there is no replacement for good, old-fashioned experience—on the battlefield or in the bedroom. And luckily for her, Kal is eager and willing to help with both.

Together, they must unravel a conspiracy that threatens to end the peace—and destroy the Lost Fleet before it can find its way home.

very not bad

had some elements I really liked... I was definitely worth the credit for all 5. decent build up and fight scenes and space battles. nice narration.

gripping story

The universe and story that Sarah Hawke has created here is nothing short of a masterpiece. I have never been gripped by a story this hard. Sitting on the edge of my seat just dying to find out what happens next. the narration is fantastic with a wide range of different voices and accents, however I found Ash's voice to be irritating. The southern drawl just was not a great fit for a main character like that. it was jarring. I was able to look past that pretty easily though simply due to the fantastic story thats being told here. the depth of lore in this universe is very well thought out and it makes me hungry for more of her books. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good science fiction story. (Side note) I originally downloaded this series for the Harem and spicy content, however I find myself more interested in the story and the other stuff has lost my interest. THATS how good this story is in my opinion.

Fun series

Enjoyed the series, and the voice acting. The writing was excellent, and hope to read/listen to more from the author.

Talented writer creates offputting relalationships

My biggest issue with this series is the relationship between Cal and Ash. Ash is basically a bisexual voyeuristic vampire. She gets off on sucking up all of Cal's memories of his exploits with other women to vicariously live it through him. Most of the women don't know he does this, at least not at 1st and then they become strangely okay with, which to be honest is pretty gross. This is like secretly recording intimate moments when the other person doesn't know about it and then sharing said video with a 3rd party. It is gross, and every time it happens in the book it is a huge turn off. The sad thing is, I like Ash as a character, but this part of her ruins her when she is around.

The other problem, while the story itself is good, it is basically just a Mass Effect fan fiction. One of the characters is even named Miranda, while another is clearly an Asari. It is so obvious it is hard to miss. It is also hard not to think that Ash is the author's self-insert. Not that she is some mary sue like character, just that she gets to be with Commander Shepherd(Cal) and all his women.

I also get tired of the trope in this genre of all the women basically being bisexual. Certainly, this series isn't the worst offender of that, not even close, but it does come off as trying a little too hard. I know too many that is a weird complaint.

It is a good overall story if none of the above bothers you. The entire series for 1 credit is worth it. This is the first time I have tried anything from this writer, and I hope her other works are better though.

could be a great read...

well the action in this series is pretty good in between the porn...wonder why books can't be sex rated...author is very explicit for the sex scenes that happen several times a chapter...most great authors start the sex scene and leave the rest for the readers imagination...the rest of the series seems pretty good...this series definitely needs an R rating to keep it out of kids hands...
