A turbine engine includes a gear driven booster connected to a high pressure shaft of the engine. A gear assembly connects the booster to the high pressure shaft. The booster is a high speed orthogonal booster that includes a plurality of rotor blades and a plurality of stator vanes. The booster rotates in a direction that is opposite to a direction the high pressure shaft rotates.
