Produktbeschreibung
Captain Evgeny Lerner was already struggling to maintain his mastery of the pirate starship Scape Grace and her crew of pan-galactic rogues. He just wanted to guide her toward profit and away from disaster, by navigating the shrinking shadows of an expanding galactic Collective. Stuck with a giant, violent, authoritarian first mate; a half-computer communications officer; a xenophobic ship's doctor; a psychotic, saurian weapons officer; a genetically engineered engineer torn from his collectivist species; and a combat crew culled from the worst refuse of two systems, Captain Lerner faced plenty of challenges. But when a raid went wrong and Scape Grace was caught defenseless, they found themselves pressed into service escorting a lost ship from an unknown alien race. The unique ship with an untranslatable name proved that even in an increasingly civilized galaxy, surrounded by some of its oddest renegades, a weary ship's captain could still be surprised by something new.
Autorenporträt
Nathan's writing is informed by a doctorate in Cognitive Psychology from the University at Buffalo, more than twenty years writing and storytelling in a variety of role-playing formats, and a lifelong fascination with mythology both historic and modern. His science fiction work is primarily set in the Empyrean Dreams universe created by co-writer Laine Lundquist, but also includes short stories, a 'hard' sci-fi novel and two science fantasy novels in progress. He also writes fantasy, weird horror, short essays, and 'new mythology', and presents retellings of classic mythology for public gatherings. Nathan is a practicing Pagan, skilled home cook, and gaming enthusiast (RP, board, video, logic, wordplay, etc.). He lives with his wife, Alicia, in Erie, Pennsylvania.
