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. And luckily for her, Kal is eager and willing to help.
Together, they must unravel a conspiracy that threatens to end the peace—and destroy the Lost Fleet before it can find its way home.
Incursion is the first installment in The Lost Fleet trilogy, an action-packed power fantasy in the spirit of Battlestar Galactica, Mass Effect, and Star Trek (the good version).

“Incursion” is the first of Sarah Hawke’s extensive library to be brought to Audible, and for lovers of audiobooks, it’s a terrific introduction to her work!
Speaking of introductions, the audiobook opens with a short description of the author; it’s no wonder that the cover girl looks like she’s wearing a Star Trek (“the good version”) uniform!
As with Star Trek (TOS) episodes, the audiobook jumps right into the story without long world-building chapters or extensive descriptions of the characters or techologies. Well done!
The story is much more interesting than a plot wrapped around sex scenes; there’s a real story here and it’s fun trying to figure out who the villains might be. As with the Star Trek universe, aliens here are numerous and varied, and we slowly learn who might be friend or foe in this far from earth region of the galaxy.
Book One focuses perhaps more on the “Space Opera” part of the tagline than “Harem”. There are several women who are contenders for an eventual harem relationship with the MC, but initially some of the relationships are more casual episodes of convenience than “bondings”. The relationship scenes are fun to listen to, and I look forward to further development of the likely harem in the sequels. The women each have distinct personalities and reasons to be interested in the MC…and each other!
I’m always nervous when new Voice Actors are used. Some publishers seem to use anyone willing to talk into a microphone in any room they happen to be sitting in. Happily, this recording is professionally done, and I have no quibbles about the quality. I really liked Raya Kane’s performance; her voices for the various women are all terrific! It took me awhile to warm up to Wayne Kelly’s voice. Initially, I thought his voice was too gravely, but then I realized it was just right for the rough-and-tumble ground pounder MC, and his voices for other men were just right as well.
I’m a huge fan of Star Trek (TOS), and I was very disappointed to listen to an “official” audiobook release based on the series a couple of years ago. “Incursion” is a much better and more enjoyable story.
5* - highly recommended!
Sexy times in a Star Trek - like universe!
