About this title

Synopsis

Captain Evgeny Lerner is struggling to maintain his mastery of the pirate starship Scape Grace and her crew of pan-galactic rogues. He just wants to guide her toward profit and away from disaster, by navigating the shrinking shadows of an expanding galactic Collective. Stuck with a giant, violent, authoritarian first mate; a half-computer communications officer; a xenophobic ship’s doctor; a psychotic, saurian weapons officer; a genetically engineered engineer escaped from his collectivist species; and a combat crew culled from the worst refuse of two systems, Captain Lerner faces plenty of challenges. When a raid goes wrong and Scape Grace is caught defenseless, the pirates find themselves pressed into service escorting a lost ship from an unknown alien race. The unique ship with an untranslatable name proves that even in an increasingly civilized galaxy, surrounded by some of its oddest renegades, a weary ship’s captain can still be surprised by something new. The Wreck of the Untranslatable is the first novel set in the Empyrean Dreams universe and the first story in a series about the crew of the Scape Grace.
