  • Here are the first two Solar Queen instalments: Sargasso Of Space and Plague Ship. Sargasso Of Space: The Solar Queen free-traders win exclusive rights to trade with the planet Limbo, but the crew arrives to find most of its surface charred, with little sign of life. They find a valley with life, but others may still lurk. Worse yet, a strange force threatens to cripple the Queen. They must solve the planet's mysteries if they hope to escape with not only tradable goods, but their lives. Plague Ship: The Queen travels to Sargol, which promises a wealth of exquisite gems to trade - if the crew can overcome the native feline Salarikis' mistrust. But their troubles have just begun. When a mysterious illness soon overtakes all the crew except the four youngest, the Galactic Patrol labels the Queen plagued and orders it destroyed on sight. With every ship in the galaxy searching for them, the crew have one chance to save the Solar Queen. But if their bold plan is foiled it would mean the end of the Solar Queen and its crew.

  • Book II of Alacrity FitzHugh and Hobart Floyt. Long ago the dying ruler of a small interstellar kingdom made a minor Old-Earth bureaucrat named Hobart Floyt the surprised inheritor of an interstellar spaceship.  And that was wonderful, for in those days, Mankind was again expanding into the galaxy and a private spaceship was a license to coin credits.  There were one or two minor problems:  the dead ruler never told Floyt how to find the ship - the bureaucrats of Earth want the ship for themselves - and someone keeps trying to murder Floyt and his friend Alacrity Fitzhugh.
