Stellar Patrol Ranger
O ovoj e-knjizi
Stellar Patrol Ranger Taigue Murchu has to track down a band of drug-runners before they unleash their toxic contraband on an unsuspecting population. The war-torn Federation has no resources to hunt the pirates and even fewer to confront them if they did, so it’s up to the under-funded and under-manned, not to mention the universally disliked, Stellar Patrol.
The most likely drop-point for the contraband is Ruby, a frozen planet with a devastating history. No one goes there except smugglers and scientists.
Enter Dr. Banna Lis, an archopologist with her eyes on one prize, the excavation of Ruby’s long-dead civilization. When Taigue conscripts her to include him on her dig, working undercover as an assistant, sparks fly. But once the pair discover the pirates have already infiltrated the planet, they’re going to have to work together both to protect the ruins and save millions of lives.
O autoru
Pauline Griffin (1947 - 2020) was born with an Irish love of storytelling. By combining that with her passion for research, she broke onto the science fiction scene in 1986 with the first of the Star Commandos series and later co-wrote three novels with Andre Norton. All told, she published thirty science fiction and fantasy novels, twelve short stories and a host of nonfiction pieces, winning two Muse Medallion awards along the way. She lived in Brooklyn, New York with her cats and her tropical fish, but her heart was always in the stars.
