After Admiral Geary turns over his evidence to the Alliance Senate， he is sent to take a fleet through Syndic space to Midway， to tie its hyperlink gate into the Alliance network， and then onward to Dancer space， to try to get to know those aliens better。 Dangers both within and without beset the fleet， leading to some thrilling action sequences。Those looking for realistic， non-jingoistic naval SF are in for a treat with the Lost Fleet series and its follow-on series。
