The Last Starship from 51 Pegasi D
ByPublisher Description
The Last Starship from 51 Pegasi d—Going home is not an option.
When planetary revolt and the collapsing interstellar Empire threaten to isolate three million colonists on Chrysaor of the 51 Pegasi system, thin resources provide only a few vessels for loyalist to return to the safety of the Emperor's Law on Earth. As a result, not all who want to escape will be able to go home. The SS Atvadis will be the last starship to leave Chrysaor.
Against this backdrop, the soon-to-be-ex governor attempts to quell the ambition of a rebellious local general, who happens to be his ex-wife. The exiled blacksheep cousin of the Emperor unwillingly inherits the command of the local naval base when all higher ranking personnel evacuate. And someone seeks to influence the outcome of the changing government by activating a seventy-eight year-old sleeper assassin. The paths of these competitors intersect while awaiting the imminent departure of The Last Starship from 51 Pegasi D.
As a bonus, this book also includes four previously published stories:
- Intent to Occupy—It's not where you go; it's who you go with.
- Philosophy—You need more than luck to survive an interplanetary war. You need a philosophy.
- His Brother was an Only Child—Nothing like the comfort of close family in difficult times.
- Hire Education—Behind on your student loan? Don't let them repossess your education.
