The Alysha Forrest series by M.C.A. Hogarth follows a Fleet officer in the Peltedverse, beginning with Alysha’s Fall in 2000. Set against the backdrop of an interstellar civilization populated by dozens of genetically engineered species, the series focuses on military life, duty, and the personal cost of service. Alysha’s career takes her through conflicts and assignments that reveal the political and cultural tensions of the Pelted Alliance.
The books range from full novels to shorter works, with several entries from 2010 exploring different episodes in Alysha’s life. Later books like Sword of the Alliance and Faith in the Service raise the stakes as she takes on broader responsibilities within the Fleet. The series concluded with In Good Company in 2022.
Readers new to the Peltedverse will find Alysha Forrest a good entry point, since it was the first series Hogarth wrote in this setting. Those already familiar with Her Instruments or Princes’ Game will recognize shared worldbuilding elements and occasional crossover references.
