Fleet of the Forgotten
Coming Soon to Paperback and E-Book
When a devastating alien force attacks Earth, newly commissioned officer Ryan Anders finds himself trapped by circumstance aboard the fleet’s most advanced yet unfinished exploration vessel. As the military fights to hold the line, Ryan and a crew of overlooked misfits must rise to the challenge—because in a fleet hobbled by politics and privilege, they may be the only ones left with a real chance to make a difference.

Dan Thornton, Military Sci-fi Author and Creator of the Exile’s War Saga
Meet the man behind the story.
Hi, I’m Dan Thornton – sci-fi author, Navy vet, and the kind of guy who thinks a weekend well spent involves riding motorcycles or building a replica plasma rifle in the garage. I served aboard the USS America during the Gulf War, where I wrangled F-14 Tomcats on the flight deck and learned the fine art of staying alive while jet engines tried to eat me. These days, I channel all that adrenaline and tech know-how into writing military science fiction.
My debut novel, Fleet of the Forgotten, blends my love of sci-fi with the chaos, camaraderie, and controlled insanity of real military life. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me suiting up for Comicon, quoting bad movies, or wondering if I can get away with building a replica of the Milano in the basement.
Sci-fi is in my blood – and I’m excited to finally share these stories with fellow fans.
