The novel “The Lost Fleet: Victorious” by Jack Campbell was published for the first time in 2010. It’s the sixth and final book in The Lost Fleet series and follows “The Lost Fleet: Relentless”.

After many battles against the Syndicate, Captain John “Black Jack” Geary must assert his loyalty to the authorities of the Alliance. This means keeping some of his officers at bay, as they’re ready to follow him even in a coup if he were interested in taking power.

Being promoted to Admiral of the Fleet is a burden for John Geary, also because it adds another problem to his personal life. The knowledge that there’s a non-human species that constitutes a threat to both the Alliance and the Syndicate pushes him to accept the new assignment.
