Description

The fourth omnibus edition of the classic science fiction of A. Bertram Chandler John Grimes books, with four full length novels and six interconnected short stories in this renowned SF saga. Pipe-smoking, action-loving spaceship commander Lieutenant John Grimes (think Captain Kirk with more of a navy, salty attitude) moves out of the Federation navy and finds his true calling adventuring along the spaceways of the galactic rim.Number four in the collected adventures of the legendary John Grimes of the Galactic Rim series, including four novels:* The Anarch Lords: John Grimesrsquo; short career as a somewhat benevolent space pirate is over, but he has sunk even lower, becoming a politician. He now the governor of a planet of anarchists, where term limits are unnecessary, what with all the assassinations taking place. * The Last Amazon: Back on Sparta, the formerly all-male planet, Grimes is waiting for his own ship to arrive when he caught up in yet another revolution and you canrsquo;t tell the good guys (or gals) without a program. * The Wild Ones: Back on Earth was the last place that Grimes expected to be. Another thing he hadnrsquo;t expected was accusations of witchcraft being taken seriously. * Catch the Star Winds: An experimental sailing ship of space was intended to exceed the speed of light. Then strange things happened involving time itself, and the crew wasnrsquo;t sure they would ever see home, or their home time, again. Plus six interrelated short stories starring the indefatigable John Grimes, rounding out a large volume of space adventure with a dash of humor, and a likable hero who always gamely manages to muddle through. .
