This omnibus contains all four books of the Adrift on a Sea of Stars series. Together, they tell the epic saga of the crew of the Beagle, sent to explore our stellar neighborhood.

The four books are:

• Adrift on a Sea of Stars
• Earth Not Forgotten
• The Tarden Agenda
• Republic and Empire

The age of exploration had been replaced by the age of war. The Tarden Republic lay fractured. The rebellion on Brakk had been brutally beaten down for a second time leaving the race near extinction. Ducis Iratus's assassination of most of the members of the Senex failed to cower the core worlds. As he fortifies the solar system against an attack from the Republic, a shadowy presence at the star closest to Earth grows in strength. With humanity refashioned as his personal slave army, Iratus above all dreams of conquest.

Earth has entered the Tarden Republic of Worlds. Humanity was been rescued from the brink of extinction and the world rejuvenated. It is a new Golden Age. But for how long and at what cost? Only a few could see the long game that the Tarden are playing, and it was one that wouldn't end well for mankind.

In this the sequel, centuries passed before an alien craft intercepts a derelict human starship drifting through the void. With effort, the crew is resurrected. Eventually, Earth is located and an expedition is sent a hundred light years distance to investigate. Approaching at incredible speed, the mystery of Earth will soon be solved, but at what price? If it is empty, the powerful Tarden plan on claiming the Earth for themselves. What if humanity still exists?

For years space telescopes had found four nearby stars very promising. The first fleet consisted of three crafts faster than anything ever built. Their mission was to visit them to survey for possible habitable worlds. More advanced, the second fleet was planned to be launched decades later with the goal of landing on alien worlds. Fifty years beyond that, the third fleet would carry a cargo of frozen colonists. Everything went as planned until the crews of first fleet woke up near their selected stars.

A mysterious lander is found on the far side of the Moon containing a glass bottle with a message in it for humanity. A space station and teams of scientists are sent to the edge of the solar system, further than anyone had ever ventured before. After two generations, the object under study had faded from the popular imagination. If it was only a natural phenomenon then why the warning to bring lots of guns? When Carl Vandor signed up for the secret government project as a test pilot he had no clue what his real job would be.
