The Forgotten Empire is Raymond L. Weil’s longest-running recent series, spanning thirteen books from 2020 to 2026. The story begins with Banishment, which introduces a long-lost branch of humanity that has been cut off from the rest of civilization. Their rediscovery triggers a chain of events that reshapes galactic politics.
Earth Ascendant and The Battle For Earth bring the conflict to humanity’s homeworld, while War for the Empire and later entries expand the fighting to include the Confederation and the Jatarians. The series maintains a steady pace of publication and continues to grow, with recent entries like Resistance and Defiance pushing the story into new territory. For readers who enjoy Weil’s military space opera, this series offers his most sustained and ambitious storyline to date.
