Last voyage, Captain Maddox entered a distant star system with a Swarm fleet. The sheer numbers were staggering, a 100-1 advantage against all human spacecraft. If the highly aggressive, racist insects gained hyper-spatial tube technology--allowing them to cross a thousand light-years in seconds--it would mean Armageddon for Earth. Â Star Watch desperately needs something powerful to offset the annihilating Swarm numbers. As if on cue, Professor Ludendorff declares he has discovered the whereabouts of ancient Builder technology, a tech so potent it could defeat the Swarm. Â Star Watch takes the bait, ordering Captain Maddox to find the lost planet holding the ancient technology. Â Ludendorff has a plan involving androids to lure his arch rival--Methuselah Man Strand--to his doom. Â The crew of Starship Victory knows nothing of this and thus blindly enters a web of intrigue and danger. The captain will need the AI Galyan, Valerie and Riker like never before. Humanity's hope against the coming Swarm holocaust rests on the outcome. Â THE LOST PLANET is the sixth book in the LOST STARSHIP SERIES.
