Whirlpool of Stars

Whirlpool of Stars

Hook: Book 1

Kenneth Bulmer

Whirlpool of Stars opens with a starship breaking down - something in the engineroom blows up as a result of shoddy maintenance. The passengers and crew are forced to flee in lifeboats, though this is no orderly evacuation. Hook is aboard, and he manages to get a seat aboard one of the lifeboats. The nearest planet, however, is run by a rival corporation to that which had operated the starship, and everyone who lands would be subject high fees... which they can pay off by indentured labour... Hook evades the authorities and, with a woman in tow, runs about the planet, trying to avoid slavery and also the Boosted Men, who are after him.

Published (as is the rest of the series) under the penname Tully Zetford.
