Generation Warriors
Meet the people who will save the Galaxy...
Lunzie, fresh from her adventures in "The Death of Sleep", has discovered that the one good heavyworlder she ever met isn't so good after all...
Fordeliton, sent off to investigate the connection between the super-rich and the planet pirates, is now dying of a mysterious slow poison. His aunt's spiritual advisor wants to give him her "Special Cure".
Dupaynil, having made the mistake of pushing Sassinak too far, has been exiled to Seti space aboard a tiny escort vessel – where he's discovered that the crew are in the pay of the planet pirates...
Aygar, the idealistic young Iretan, is out to prove he has brains as well as heavyworlder brawn... but there are plenty who'd like to blow them out before he can learn to use them.
Then there's Sassinal, ordered
to report to FedCentral for the trial of the mutineer Tanegli. She'd
been told to disarm her ship when it enters restricted space; she'd
been told her crew can't have liberty or leave; and she'd been told to
follow all the rules. You remember Sassinal... the only person who
might be able to stop the disaster ahead never been one to follow the
rules...
