An empire spread among thousands of stars is mighty—and the foundation of its power is people. The very ones who pilot ships, explore new planets, build, explore—and if there’s need, fight. But fate plays the role of an officer, and it happens that a brilliant officer ends up on the roadside of life.
What is there to do for someone who best of all knows how to pilot ships and shoot? There are many options—and one of them is to become a pirate.
But even if you are the terror of space lanes, you’re still Russian. For you, “Motherland” and “Oath” aren’t empty words… And—friends who tie you to the past no worse than a steel cable. And when the need arises, an IMPERIAL CORSAIR will stand between them and trouble!
