T.J. & Luna Series

When extremely valuable gemstones called SunJewels are discovered on their planet, the local natives begin using them to pay the fees and taxes for their casinos. When their payments come up light several years in a row a special agent is sent out from the Central Galactic Government’s Treasury Department to find out why. His presence unnerves the corrupt police officials who’ve been skimming the jewels and the nefarious officers concoct a phony robbery to hide their plundering. But unbeknownst to them, a gang of rogue pirates also intend to have a go at making off with the gems. The yearly SunJewel Ceremony where the pretty sparklies are handed over for the tax payments becomes host to a confusing convergence of both cops and robbers, and it gets awfully hard to tell who’s who when the fireworks start.

Going after a freighter heading for the money-manufacturing CenterMint planet, one of the most heavily guarded fortresses in the Galaxy, would be difficult enough by itself, but the task becomes even more risky when a corrupt politician and his official police henchmen connive to frame T.J. and the gang for a recent assassination. Plot and counterplot, cross and double-cross all combine to turn the heist into a furious adventure. As it unfolds, the pirate crew must use all their skills and ingenuity to try and survive the perilous escapade.

The massacre of an entire colony of defenseless settlers by an elite squad of heavily-armed police officers heralds the start of a fiendish conspiracy. Two police officials have devised a plan to gain control of the civilized worlds of the galaxy, and the plundered wealth of the murdered settlers will finance it. As their project nears completion, a rogue pirate crew uncovers the scheme and attempts to foil it. They mount a risky midnight incursion into the enemy camp to sabotage a batch of critical gadgets, but Fate plays an unwelcome card and they are captured. With two lovely pirate girls scheduled to be raffled off for dark delights, the valiant crew struggle against their evil foe right up until the explosive end.

The 10 million credit reward offered for the recovery of a unique piece of artwork entices T.J. and his pirate crew to join in the hunt. Unfortunately, they find themselves in competition with some unscrupulous police officers bent on securing the prize at any cost. The ruthless tactics of the renegade officers leave behind a trail of bruised and battered innocents as they search, but luckily the pirate crew is able to stay one step ahead of them. Unfortunately, when a battle for possession of the painting backfires, three members of the crew are captured and the weight of their rescue falls onto the shoulders of the one remaining pirate girl. She must use all her resources to save her friends so she devises a plan that she hopes won’t blow up in her face.

A bucketful of low-grade industrial diamond dust is not much in the way of treasure, but times are hard. What begins as a minor pilfering of a deserted mine on an isolated moon escalates into a tricky situation. Clandestine connections between the Galactic Police Commissioner and the corrupt mine owner have caused men to be condemned so money can flow, and when T.J. and his gang become aware of it, they vow to do something about it. The scene becomes complicated when gemstones are unexpectedly discovered around the mine and several mutinous policemen mount a full-scale attack for possession of the thousands of uncut gems. T.J. and his crew get caught in the crossfire as control of the situation changes hands over and over again between competing bad guys. Being a professional outlaw may pay well sometimes, but it’s certainly a risky business.
