Now/Here

Sabinus Terchan has never felt more alive. The reactivation of the Iskandarian jump gates, knowledge of which has been suppressed for generations, will revolutionize society. And he means to watch it all happen in person -- with his pet at his side.

But with both the government and the powerful GG Co-op hunting them down, the odds of them and their tentative allies surviving unscathed are close to zero. Sacrifices must be made. When it comes down to it, what's Sabinus going to choose: the vague dreams he's spent his whole life chasing, that are forever hurtling just out of reach, or the things he never knew he wanted, that lie already within his grasp?

He's a space pirate. The answer, obviously, is both.

This short story for mature readers is a direct followup to "Olivia" and "Breakthru," and concludes the Space Pirates series.
