Lightrunner (GN)

In the future, capitalism runs the universe in the form of planetary Corprostates held together by a web of trade undertaken by tachyon-driven solar sailing ships plying the perilous routes of the “Star Stream”. The Empyrean Alliance is a tenuous association of Free States, restive, politically insecure and greatly dependent on the trustworthy valour of the apolitical Empyrforce – a Navy-style peacekeeping/police militia. Enter young Burne Garrett, son of a legendary Empyrforce hero, who somehow manages to get himself in the most deadly predicament of all... Lightrunner is a riotous intergalactic rollercoaster rocket-ride which began life as a serial in the semi-pro fanzine Visions, and still packs a punch for any fan of brash, flashy space opera. It is a breezy, spectacular romp in a lavish, visually impressive package that still reads incredibly well and looks great. Those who like this particular form of chase-based science fiction are in for a treat.
