Merchanter's Luck
His name was Sandor and he was the owner and entire crew of a
tramp star-freighter that flew the Union planets under false papers
and fake names.
Her name was Allison and she was a proud but junior member of
the powerful family whose mighty starship, Dublin Again,
was the true queen of the spaceways.
They met at Viking Station, she seeking a night's dalliance, he
desperately in search of a spacer assistant.
Their fateful meeting was to lead to a record-breaking race to
Downbelow Station, thereby catching the calculating eye of the
grim commander of the Alliance battlecraft, Norway, and
a terrifying showdown at a deadly destination off the cosmic charts.
