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. And that 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 have decided the easiest way to make the Alliance's problems go away is to get rid of him. He finds himself ordered to undertake a perilous new mission outside of the reaches of human-occupied space while the Senate clashes over the evidence.
Geary's warships must escort a diplomatic and scientific mission across the dangerous, disintegrating remnants of the Syndicate Worlds empire. But even if he can make it to Midway Star System, the gateway to alien-controlled space, Geary will face former Syndicate officials who have rebelled and regard the Alliance with deep suspicion. And that will be the easy part. . . .

Admiral John Geary and wife, Captain Tanya Desjani, return to Unity having ended the century-long war with the Syndicate Worlds. The Senate doesn't know whether he has come to take over the government. For certain, he has brought damning evidence of malfeasance on the part of some of its members and Fleet command. What is utmost on "Black Jack" Geary's mind, however, isn't politics but the matter of helping former Syndic forces at Midway ensure their freedom and to continue solidifying relations with the Dancers, aliens who were a deciding factor in ending the war. What eventually emerges from his encounter with the Senate and Fleet HQ is a new mission for his fleet to attend to those concerns. Political intrigues abound as well as personal surprises, including taking his new wife to his homeworld (his first visit in 100 years) and the fate of Geary's grandnephew. Boundless begins a third series, Outlands, in the best-selling Lost Fleets saga, and being the thirteenth book in no way jinxes the steady hand of Campbell's command of top-notch space opera.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
