Forges of the Federation is one of Raymond L. Weil’s most recent series, with seven books published between 2023 and 2024. The series follows the establishment of a new interstellar federation as humanity expands its reach across the galaxy.
Explorer and Oasis focus on the discovery phase, as new worlds and alien civilizations are encountered. Rebel One and Spirit of Rebellion introduce political and military challenges to the federation’s formation, while Defender, Hunter, and Guardian deal with the threats that emerge as the new government takes shape. The series combines Weil’s military sci-fi strengths with nation-building themes.
