    About this ebook

    Action! Adventure! Space Pirates!

    The fearsome space pirates had waged a campaign of terror against the Human colonies for nearly a century, plundering and dominating the space lanes that crossed the Terran Empire, at will, all the while keeping the location of their base a closely guarded secret. Then one day, quite unexpectedly, the dreaded Corsairs luck finally ran out

    After nearly two days of fierce fighting, the Battle of Turtle Island left the skies of the Corsair world darkened with their dead. In orbit, the remnants of the once feared Black Fleet drifted, blazing... while below, the Corsair civilization breathed its last. The Terrans had finally defeated the dreaded Corsairs.

    For a while, the terror seemed to be over, but not just yet.

    Not all the great Corsair figures of legend had been killed or captured - a few had slipped through the net.

    Dead Beckoning is the tale of Adam a former Corsair captain working to expunge his bloody past by doing good - starting by helping the imperial star ship Antares to track down and capture one of the most powerful and feared Corsairs in legend: Sona Kilroy aka The Hammer.

    Like every warrior who leaves home to go to war, Adam hoped to return to the arms of his love but Adam wasnt exactly a soldier, and Marsha well, Marsha wasnt exactly standard spec either but if he did return at all, he hoped to return to her.

    For Mykl d'Angelo and Ripley Jones, Joe Lofflin and Dellon Bennett, Space Fleet was more than just a job - and the Antares and Mordrake more than just ships - they were home and family.

    Also available in paperback and soon to be released as an audiobook narrated by Nigel Peever.
