About This Book

An adventurer pursues a brilliant, sinister rival after seizing a pirate ship whose log sets a secret rendezvous; he conceals his own craft, boards the captured vessel with only a loyal giant companion and a reluctant survivor, and prepares a countertrap. Anticipating multiple methods of contact, possible ambushes, and interference from nearby pirate haunts, he weighs tactical and technological options while bracing for deception and violence. The tale follows their cat-and-mouse maneuvers through space, scientific cunning, and personal vendetta as the two foes close on a dangerous confrontation.
