Incursion

A Space Opera Harem Adventure (The Lost Fleet, Book 1)

By: Sarah Hawke

Narrated by: Raya Kane, Wayne Kelly

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. And luckily for her, Kal is eager and willing to help.

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

Incursion is the first installment in The Lost Fleet trilogy, an action-packed power fantasy in the spirit of Battlestar Galactica, Mass Effect, and Star Trek (the good version).

good

it was really good the voice actors did a great job it was different from a lot of the other space novels have been into lately good action very sexy what more can a guy ask for

Great space Opera

this is a great space Opera story, Mass effect meet Star Trek. incredibly well written, and performed well by the voice actors. I recommend this to anyone that likes space operas.

A Great Sci-fi Romp.

I was surprised with how good the story was, There is a lot of lore to explore in the series and I look forward to learning more about the history of the various races as the books are released.

Hell Yes! Easy Recommend

A little context for my review. I tend to take it easy on the first and last book of any series as not every series makes it to “The End” and the first of anything can be a shaky endeavor, to say the least. I also try to make clear the distinction between the quality of the writing/performance of the author/narrator and my personal tastes should they differ. starting off with the author, I have read some of her past work and have enjoyed it immensely. This is this author's first audiobook And I think it came out wonderfully. The narration team is one in which I am unfamiliar with, but their performances were fantastic. As for the book itself it appears to be the first of a new series set in a universe that the author has written in previously. The two series’ that precede this one, are currently completed and available in eBook form. The first one is the “Shadows of The Seraph” which is a completed trilogy and the second “Wings of the Seraph” which is a completed series totaling five books. Both of the precursor stories are available as one completed eBook each. Definitely something that I will check out now that I'm done with this one. “The Lost Fleet” series has a sequel set for release September 19th, but I don't know when the audio for it will release. The e-book has a map of space where the story takes place. The dominion finds itself trapped within this veil where there are alien inhabitants that they come into conflict with. Our hero is a marine looked down upon by the regular fleet personnel who will find his way into the arms of a bunch of beautiful women. There is a war a brewing. I recommend you checking out the authors website as you can find a larger version of the map as well as images of the different species in this story along with an explanation about them. All around I've enjoyed the story immensely and I am looking forward to what comes next. Well done to everybody who had a hand in bringing this story to us the audible listeners and keep up the good work.

Pleasant Surprise

I'm a reader of scifi military, space fleet, and similar. This appeared as a recommendation by Audible. I shrugged and figured why not give it a listen. (Worst case is I'd archive and forget about it)

Lo and behold there is a solid space opera story going on. There is good development of the factions. A stable basis for the tech. Characters who maintain their personality. And a page turning storyline.

That all gives greater impact to the relationships side of things - where turn pages more slowly :wink:.

The dual narrators work very well bringing all areas of the story to life.

I maybe picked this up on a whim. But I'm certainly intrigued to see what happens in the future titles of this series.

Thank you author, narrators, and publisher for a surprisingly excellent experience.
