About this ebook
An unedifying episode from the unorthodox life of Captain Hesperus, star trader. Money is tight, the engines are failing, and there's soup on the ceiling ... still, there's nothing that can't be fixed with one sweet deal. A cargo of machinery destined for a low-tech Anarchy system: what could possibly go wrong?
A novella set in the universe of the classic computer game "Elite", and its fan-made remake "Oolite".
Author
Blaze O'Glory
Blaze O'Glory, a disembodied human nervous system in a robotic support body, plies his trade between the stars of the Galactic Co-operative. Occasionally he writes something, often about Captain Hesperus, which hovers in the borderlands between truth and defamation.
