SERIES: SPACE PIRATES

Epic cyberpunk space opera... with only the juicy bits intact.

Four more raunchy tales of men and women with questionable morals jumping each other's bones. In space.

Includes the following stories:

JEANNE (in which an extended flashback reveals an awful lot of plot, backstory, and handwavy worldbuilding. also an old flame)

LANGSYNE (in which more virtual entertainment is had, cuteness abounds, and our heroes definitely have their priorities straight)

DEGEN (in which there are multiple partners with dark dynamics, and skippable plot)

ADRESTIA (in which the aftermath of above is detailed and we see the consequences of starring pirates as our heroes)

Summary: Nobody crosses a space pirate without facing the consequences. And though Olivia Yuzhino may not be a pirate herself, she belongs to one now. To cross her is to cross him. And she refuses to let her weakness sully his name.

Sabinus knows something happened to his pet during his absence. He didn't get this far as a space pirate without developing a well-honed sense for trouble. But as usual, she's not talking, and until she does, there's not a thing he can do about it.

Maybe it's not his place to do anything about it.

Still, he has his ways. And maybe now he can finally settle the matter of what exactly she means to him.

And what he means to her.

WARNING - This short story is a direct followup to "Degen". Although it's not necessary to have read "Degen" to enjoy this story, "Adrestia" features vicious vigilante justice and pirates doing piratey things, and so the same warning about darker themes applies.

Summary: Rookie ISSP officer Gurn Kirzac, though young, has already gained a reputation throughout the system for his cruelty and ambition. And he's determined to secure a promotion by capturing notorious space pirate Sabinus Terchan through any means possible -- including Sabinus's new woman.

Olivia didn't think twice about giving herself to a space pirate on the run. Nor has she regretted her decision since, despite the ongoing tension between them. Uncertain though it may be, life with him is uncomplicated, and she has her own reasons for appreciating simplicity.

But their arrangement can't last forever. And when she draws the attention of a corrupt young officer with a deep hatred of pirates and a firm belief that the ends justify the means, she's going to have to decide just how far she's willing to go to protect the unusual relationship she's forged.

Whatever she chooses, there's no turning back now.

WARNING - This story is darker and somewhat different in tone from the other entries in the Space Pirates universe. Proceed with caution.

Summary: Sabinus and his pet have walked into a subtle but nasty trap: a simulation that digs through their memories and alters their perceptions accordingly. Unless they figure out a way to overcome the sim, their minds may be stuck inside forever. Problem is? They don't seem interested in leaving.

Space pirate Sabinus Terchan is determined to unravel his pet's secrets. Secrets that may or may not be related to his own murky, discarded past -- which he can no longer ignore when he and his pet get trapped in a memory simulator. Dredging up old dirt is always a pain in the neck, but this particular experience proves to be quite entertaining indeed...

She's become an obsession, he realizes. And obsessions are dangerous.

Too bad danger turns him on.

Summary: Ten years ago, space pirate Sabinus Terchan ran one of the most powerful underground operations in the galaxy. Two years ago, it all came crashing down around him. And as little as he likes to admit it, it happened in no small part because of a woman.

Hacker Jeanne Saryev knows that the only two constants in life are death and betrayal. When the leader of a shadowy galactic smuggling operation offers her his protection in exchange for her talents, she readily accepts, intending to make use of him for as long as she can. Just like she's used everyone who came before him.

What she doesn't expect is to discover a kindred soul in him, a man as ruthless and coldly pragmatic as she's learned to be. A man who has seen what the universe has to offer, and rejects it for a destiny of his own making.

But what Jeanne comes to understand of his ambitions terrifies her. And whatever connection they may share, it is built on a bed of lies.
