Corsair by Slava Heretz Sci-Fi Short Story
Hello all,
First, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Slava Heretz and I am a new science fiction author. My first short story has just been released on Amazon for $0.99. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0059UHIBK Corsair 10,000 Words In a distant future, where humans have colonized all but the most barren solar systems in our Milky Way galaxy, a new frontier begins 87,000 light years away. With rampant piracy and corruption bringing the newly founded civilization to the brink of collapse, decorated ex-Alliance Navy officer, Eli Saffinger, is hired to protect a freighter that could single-handedly revitalize the economy and morale of the intergalactic pioneers. Knowing the inevitable consequence of escorting such valuable cargo, Saffinger prepares to confront the most ruthless and dangerous privateer in the southern Messier region - a mission that many have undertaken but none have survived. |

True some people despise Amazon but the majority that will not buy from Amazon is because their reader of choice does not support Amazon's kindle format. I personally would not mind purchasing EBooks from Amazon if they also sold the books in EPub format but that will never happen

Corsair rules. it was a quick yet excellent read. i picked up Letter of Marque too, haven't read much of it yet but so far i'll definitely be picking up future installments of this series.
you've got an excellent eye for action and characters. |
