Starspinner: Dale Aycock

The 'rim' is a punishing mistress -a fractional delay can send an interstellar ship hurtling to its destruction. In the 27th century, travel over vast distances takes only an instant - a terrifying, gut-churning instant. Pilot Christopher Marlow must navigate spacecraft through the dangerous space/time warp. Then Galactic Control's power-hungry Jorge Engleman visits Marlow's space station and a tug of war over the fragile 'rim' threatens the Empire's existence. Cover art by Attila Hejja .
