A Military Space Opera Western of Space Frigates, Outlaws, and Galactic Patrol Officers

Commodore James Galbraith commands Sector 4 of the Space Patrol, a lawless frontier sector of the solar system teeming with space pirates, illegal asteroid miners, and corporate smugglers. To police the vast sector with limited budget, Galbraith recruits a crew of court-martialed misfits, rogues, and rejected cadets aboard the starship Vagabond.

Tasked with stopping a ruthless pirate syndicate raiding ore freighters near Jupiter, Commodore Galbraith and his misfit crew execute unconventional space tactics and guerilla boarding actions to bring law to the frontier.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Pulp veteran E. Hoffmann Price delivers a humorous, action-packed military space opera filled with rogue lawmen, starship combat, and frontier camaraderie. Ideal for fans of Robert A. Heinlein, Mike Resnick, and Keith Laumer.
