About this listen
The battle at the galactic center had been a great victory for the Federation and the Alliance but at a tremendous cost. The Battleship Avenger and her fleets had vanished being drawn into a great white vortex at the moment of victory. For over four years, the mystery of what happened to the Avenger has haunted the Federation.
The last two survivors of the Special Five have built a powerful exploration cruiser to go off in search of the lost fleets. They are convinced that the fleets have survived and are trapped in another galaxy. What they find in their search will be a threat to the Federation far greater than the AIs and the Hocklyns had ever been. The fate of thousands of worlds will depend on the Distant Horizon finding those that were lost and stopping this new and dangerous menace.
In former Hocklyn space, the Borzon and the Shari are on the move. Their fleets are seizing large areas to add to their own Slave Empires. Admiral Race Tolsen and Third Fleet are sent to push the Borzon and Shari back to ensure the recently freed worlds don't once more fall into slavery. Unknown to Admiral Tolsen is the fact that he has an important role to play in the survival of the lost fleets, as well as the galaxy.

Story
The Trellixian Empire was constantly expanding, seeking new worlds for its ever-increasing population. If worlds were discovered with existing sentient populations, they were cleansed to make room for colonization. Hundreds of budding civilizations had been eliminated by Trellixian battle fleets. On Earth, years in the past, a scout ship fleeing from the Trellixians crashed. Scientists investigating the wreckage discovered what the Trellixians had done to the world the scout ship escaped from. They also discovered it was only a matter of time before the Trellixians reached Earth.

Geary believed in the Alliance. Even when he uncovered overwhelming evidence that the highest echelons of the government and fleet command were involved in secret programs and prison camps, he believed it was worth saving. He believed his duty was to see that justice was served even though some factions feared that revealing the truth would cause the Alliance to crumble. But after narrowly surviving two assassination attempts when he brings evidence of the misdeeds to the capital star system, Geary realizes that some want to get rid of him.

Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Story
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

In the 25th century, humans have conquered space. The advent of faster-than-light travel has opened up hundreds of habitable planets for colonization, and humans have exploited the virtually limitless space and resources for hundreds of years with impunity. So complacent have they become with the overabundance that armed conflict is a thing of the past, and their machines of war are obsolete and decrepit. What would happen if they were suddenly threatened by a terrifying new enemy?

The first book of best-selling sci-fi author Jack Campbell’s new series Beyond the Frontier returns to find Captain John “Black Jack" Geary, the hero of the Lost Fleet series, awoken from cryogenic sleep to take command of the fleet. Geary’s legendary exploits have earned him the adoration of the people—and the enmity of politicians convinced that a living hero can be a very inconvenient thing.

Spacers call the warp point Charon's Ferry. No star ship has ever entered it and returned since a vengeful Orion task force pursued a doomed Terran colonization fleet into it in 2206. Almost a century has passed. The fiery hatreds of a quarter-century of warfare between the Terran Federation and the Zheeerlikou'valkhannaieeee, the cat-like species humans called the "Orions", have eased at least a little.

Please use a different narrator. Please.
The wrong inflections are used in the wrong places. I kept thinking I would eventually get used to the narrator but it never happened. The story line is rushed and not very well fleshed out.

No Sync in Whispersynch
Any additional comments?
Very difficult following the reading of the book along with with whispersync.. the book was poorley written, and whispersync tried to improve the writing, constantly changing the writing .. which means you have to do one or the other.. not both at the same time .. Which is the only way whispersync is of any value.

Not For Me
I picked this up at an Audible sale recently, always looking for new and interesting sci fi series. Unfortunately, I could not get into this first book in a new series (and part of a larger collective). The writing is fairly simplistic, with the usual gender bias so rampant in this genre (men are men but woman are 'girls', girls cry a lot or spend time in front of mirrors making sure they are still trim and fit for when their men return from space). Sadly, this was coupled with an audio narration that only exacerbated uninspired writing - warning signs go up when a captain switches from sounding like William Shatner in full Star Trek glory to an effette British noble. Let's not get into the girly-girl voices.
Story: while Earth puts together a rescue mission to find the Lost Fleet, the individuals in the Lost Fleet themselves find themselves in an uncharted part of space - with a very new and hostile alien threat. The AIs and humans will have to forge an uneasy alliance if they hope to survive this new threat.
This is the type of writing that makes my teeth hurt from grinding them. Most characters say really stupid things just to begin an exposition of the situation. It's so silly because someone in that situation isn't going to state the obvious over and over again just so that someone else can start 'discussing' the plot. Take this example: the woman chosen to lead the rescue mission is a Rear Admiral in her own right and highly skilled. So her father, also an admiral, comes to her to say in concern, "Catherine, this will be a dangerous mission." (Thank you, Admiral obvious!). And then adding in helpful points such as, "you may never return." Because, yes, when a crew volunteers to go on a mission into unknown territory where a whole other fleet has disappeared, it's important to remind someone of these points, last minute, right before they leave, and after HE assigned her the mission. I know it's meant to show paternal love - but ugh.
There is a lot of old fashioned sexism in here - I don't believe the author even realized it, though. The 'girls' are always on the verge of tears when thinking about their missing husbands - I defy you to find one guy mourning his wife in the same way. And the 'girls' tend to get clumped together, always seeming to be attached at the hips. Because, yes, women cluck and cluster like hens whereas men are lone wolves in their determination and resolve.
There were several plot and character issues I just couldn't get past to enjoy the story. The unfortunate narration didn't help matters, either. The narrator has a great voice but the acting skills were painful and accents/dialogue either cliched or derisive.
At heart, this is a story about good people trying to survive in a harsh modern milieu. The characters are likable in their everyman simplicity and I am sure they will appeal to many. For me, I always look for a science fiction that feels like the future - and not like a 2010s version of the future as written by someone who grew up in the 1960s.

Interesting basic plot
The plot is interesting, but there are way way too many words about how much the separated lovers miss each other. Would the commander of a military rescue mission take officers she thought might mutiny because of being separated from their lovers? If this book doesn't bring them together I don't think I can stomach another book with all those words about the separated lovers.

Awesome !!!
If you could sum up The Lost Fleet: Galactic Search in three words, what would they be?
This is such an amazing new sequel in the series, full of heart racing moments and a great storyline. Our heroes from the Special Five are getting back together and they will meet some unexpected friends and new enemies as well, in this new galaxy. I absolutely disagree with the reviewers who give negative comments on the narration. Narration is decent and I enjoyed listening to the audio version of this book very much. I give it a 5 star rating!!!

Interesting, but not original
If you've read Jack Campbell's lost fleet, then you've already read this story, as this one is about as close to that as you can get and not be called out for plagiarism. Still, I'm partial to these kinds of stories, so I enjoyed it anyway. It would have been helpful if the author had just come out and told us who the five were, instead of assuming the reader already knew. Considering this is book 1 in the series, the reader was left to puzzle out an aweful lot, especially if said reader had no prior exposure to this line of books. I had read one previous book, though that book was somewhere in the of the series before this one, as far as I could tell, so I just didn't have the background to grasp all the loose threads in this one. Even so, I still liked it, and will not neglect to read more should I cross paths with them, but I doubt I'll be adding them to my must read list, especially since I already read most of The Lost fleet series, and generally, I don't like to waste my time reading a book I already read once.
