Opis

Beta Sector is an area of space stretching far beyond our current solar system. Hundreds of years from now, this area has been both explored and colonized by human and alien races. Pirates, smugglers, militaries (some friendly, some fiercely protective of their domains) and civilizations both primitive and advanced abound in Beta Sector. Full of wondrous sights, discoveries, and riches beyond the imagination, Beta Sector is also called "home" by those who would quickly dispatch trespassers and would-be adventurers who make a single miscalculation. This anthology contains six stories set in the Beta Sector universe. Best in the Fleet - Your world is your ship, not the planet you were born on. For those serving in Unified Sector Command, their warship is also their biggest source of pride. The Crown of Gnar - Victor Trudeau, intergalactic spy, is hot on the trail of a jewel thief. The Last Ride of the 7th - Outmanned and outgunned, the 7th Unified Marine Expeditionary Unit will fight to the very last man to ensure that freedom will forever reign across Beta Sector. The Best-Laid Plans - When a dangerous criminal gets his hands on an ancient warship, there's only one person to call to bring the world-hopping culprit to justice: Victor Trudeau. Shipwrecked on Moruta - Crash landing on the surface of an alien world, the passengers of the space liner Pride of Trinidad must make their way to safety while avoiding hostile life-forms, treacherous space pirates, and a traitor in their own midst. Where Crimson Banners Still Wave - On a desolate world at the edge of Beta Sector, the last survivors of a planetwide catastrophe struggle to endure as best they can.
