The Complete Series in a single offering!

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 or in the bedroom. And luckily for her, Kal is eager and willing to help with both.

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

The Lost Fleet is a military space opera about a frightening enemy from the past, unsteady alien allies, and traitors within who threaten a fragile peace. It's also about a harem and a truly massive amount of enthusiastic sex.

At first I found it to be like fanfiction. But the more I listened, the more it took on a life of its own - a story good enough to listen to without the sex. And, in fact, sometimes the sex was just too much! I found myself fast forwarding through some of it to get back to the plot. It really could have stood alone without the sex, which is high praise for this genre.

The narration is good - there's two voice actors, and they both do an excellent set of characters who sound genuinely different, if a little over the top each time. My main complaint is that the main character is a gruff kind of military man, which is fine, but it means the narrator keeps his voice for describing everything - which means it's all dry and unemotional, and isn't fun to listen to. But the characters make up for it.

This is five books in one credit, which is a great deal even if the first three books are short and end on cliffhangers. Halfway through, when book 3 becomes book 4, there's a jarring change in narration. I'm not sure if it's a new set of narrators or if they just fell out of practice with the voices, but it took me a while to get used to (and ended up being a great place to pause the series - it had already been 24 hours of listening!).

It's Mass Effect with sex... and it's not half bad
