Avast there ye scurvy dogs!
So you think you're brave enough to join us on this here voyage through
space and time? If you come with us, you better be prepared to loot, pillage
and maim. This is no voyage for the lily-livered amongst you.
If you dare open these pages, Robert E. Vardeman will take you out into the
solar system where a man must defend his ship and his discovery from a fierce
pirate lass who is not afraid to kill everyone aboard. Neal Asher will take
you to the surface of a distant planet where a ruthless monster battles a
crew of unsavory buccaneers. Some aliens think they can mock us humans and
C.J. Henderson shows them that it's better to be a pirate than be the butt
of an intergalactic joke.
In this volume you'll find fifteen swashbuckling tales guaranteed to shiver
your deck plates. You'll join pirate crews as they raid starships carrying
fortunes. You'll see brave men and women as they defend themselves against
terrifying corsairs. Of course, not all space pirates are the same. If you
come with us, you'll meet corporate raiders and even pirates who grab their
pleasures where they can, even if it means fighting military satellites and
stealing their entertainments directly from the networks.
Aye, and we pirates seem to attract more than our share of ghosts wanting
to exact revenge on the foolhardy. You've been warned. Dead men tell no
tales and even if they did, you couldn't hear them in the vacuum of space.
Arrr!
Still think you want to come along? Then pick up yer bottle o' rum and sign
on with this crew that includes Daniel M. Hoyt, M.H. Bonham, Carol Hightshoe,
Uncle River and many more.
