The Lost Fleet is a military science fiction universe created by Jack Campbell (pen name of John G. Hemry). The original six-book Lost Fleet series follows Captain John “Black Jack” Geary, who wakes from a century of survival hibernation to find himself a legendary hero — and the only person who can lead a stranded fleet home through enemy territory.

The universe has expanded through multiple sequel and prequel series: Beyond the Frontier continues Geary’s story, The Lost Stars follows characters on the enemy side, The Genesis Fleet is a prequel set during humanity’s first interstellar expansion, and Outlands takes the story further into unknown space.
