The Lost Colony
We fought the invading New Men to a standstill and defeated the alien Destroyer sent to obliterate Earth.
The worst should be over, but it’s not.
Perfect android replicas are impersonating high-level officials so trust is failing. Worse, the New Men have found allies with an impenetrable stealth technology.
This time, however, Earth is going on the offensive. Admiral Fletcher is headed to “C” Quadrant with a Grand Fleet. He’s to liberate the captured planets and find the enemy homeworld. What he isn’t supposed to do is die.
The only one who can save humanity has been grounded. Captain Maddox is under suspicion because he’s half New Man. But he’s not going to stop. He’s found something unbelievable. Now, he needs Starship Victory — an ancient, alien spacecraft — the AI Galyan, Meta, Sergeant Riker and the others to help him tear the greatest secret of all from the enemy.
Maddox and his crew must succeed or humanity will drown in a sea of human extinction.
THE LOST COLONY is the fourth book in the LOST STARSHIP SERIES.
The series
In the cold, uncharted depths of space, a single discovery can ignite a universe of chaos—and the Lost Starship Series unravels that very mystery. Vaughn Heppner takes readers on an extraordinary journey through a galaxy teetering on the brink of war, where long-forgotten technology holds the key to humanity’s future—or its destruction.
Read full series description
The series begins with the discovery of a derelict starship, abandoned for centuries and cloaked in secrets. As a group of explorers stumbles upon this ghostly vessel, they awaken forces far beyond their control. From ancient alien artifacts to dark conspiracies, every twist and turn propels them deeper into a galaxy filled with danger, intrigue, and unfathomable power.
What sets Lost Starship apart is its rich world-building, blending high-stakes space opera with complex character dynamics and ethical quandaries. Heppner’s universe is one of shadows and hidden truths, where alliances are fragile, and survival is never guaranteed. The characters—flawed yet determined—must navigate treacherous political landscapes, face personal demons, and reckon with a past that refuses to stay buried.
At its heart, this series is about discovery—of new worlds, forgotten histories, and the unknown within ourselves. Each page pulls readers further into a sprawling, multi-layered narrative that explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and the price of power. Whether it’s the allure of forbidden technology or the dangers of trusting the wrong allies, the Lost Starship Series constantly challenges its characters, and its readers, to question what it means to be human in a galaxy filled with both wonder and peril.
With breathtaking action, intricate plotlines, and a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the final page, this series is a deep dive into the dark heart of space exploration. If you’re searching for a story that blends cosmic adventure with profound character journeys, Lost Starship is the voyage you’ve been waiting for.
