It’s the 25th Century and the British Space Empire faces the
gathering menace of the evil ant-soldiers of the Ghast hive, hell
bent on galactic domination and the extermination of all humanoid
life forms.
Captain Isambard Smith is the square-jawed, courageous and somewhat
asinine new commander of the clapped out freighter John Pym,
destined to take on the alien threat because nobody else is available.
Together with his bold crew- a skull-collecting alien lunatic, an
android pilot who is actually a fugitive sex toy and a hamster called
Gerald- he must collect new-age herbalist Rhianna Mitchell from
the New Francisco orbiter and bring her back to the Empire in safety.
Straightforward enough – except the Ghasts want her too and,
in addition to a whole fleet of Ghast warships, Smith has to confront
void sharks, a universe-weary android assassin and John Gilead, psychopathic
naval officer from the fanatically religious Republic of Eden before
facing his greatest enemy: a ruthless alien warlord with a very large
behind…
