In the twenty-second century, Star Service – heir to the duties and responsibilities of The Empire – guards the solar system, administering justice, performing rescues, and battling dreaded space pirates! Now, learn about the world to come in four exciting adventures in “The Emperor’s Secret Files” from the pen of Charles Lee Jackson, II, as you journey with the… Planet Patrol!
Sandy Pendragon was an ordinary Hollywood resident when fate – in the form of Star Service – tapped her to become a Space Princess, an interplanetary judge advocate general. But her first assignment may be her last, for pirate treachery awaits this “Space Virgin”.
Arriving at Cinnabar, the mobile city on the planet Mercury, Her Grace has to adjudicate a case between a self-righteous billionairess and rough-and-tumble miners, and when the city’s slow progress around the sphere is endangered, she and her crew must find a way to help the city to catch the twilight, because for Cinnabar, it’s… “Sunset or Death”.
Star Service rarely interferes in Earth conflicts, but for once Her Grace and team must come home to settle a dispute between the United States and the First Nations people of North America over the relocation of Mount Rushmore. The problem isn’t logistical, it’s political – a renegade Lakota who is fomenting dissention in the name of the ancient “Ghost Dance”.
The biggest thrill on Mars in the 22nd century is the air race to end all air races. But two of Sandy Pendragon’s enemies have teamed up to give her grief, and use the race excitement to their own advantage – but Cap’n Morgas the space pirate plans not only a double-cross but a fantastic and fool-proof theft of millions from the bank during “The Mars 5000”. Fans of the Tom Corbett books, Lensmen saga, Captain Future, and Perry Rhodan will love this enthralling saga.
