Thundering Space Adventure from the Best-Selling Author of Hammer's Slammers

A thousand years ago, the human empire collapsed. Now mankind is reclaiming the galaxy, and ships hurtle between the stars, hoping to reap the rich opportunities of this new age of trade and exploration. But there are wars springing up, with new tyrants seizing whole planets, while other planets are rebelling against the powers that hold them captive. And lurking in the dark spaces between the stars are pirates, plundering all sides in the conflicts. It is the golden age of space travel, and it is possible for a brave man or woman to become very wealthy-or very dead.

At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

A violent, hard-nosed swashbuckler, set forth with discernment and skill. —*Kirkus Reviews*

Drake uses military language fluently to create vivid combat scenes. —*Publishers Weekly*

Hard-hitting SF adventure-a tale that will appeal to fans of military SF. —*Library Journal*

"A cleverly set up, Poul Anderson-style reprise of the early Elizabethan period, when trade and piracy were synonyms . . . enormously entertaining! —*Detroit News*
