"Privateer's Commission" by Randi Darren is a thrilling space adventure that follows the story of Ralph Turlan, a rogue with a letter of marque in hand and the universe at his feet. As a legal pirate—better known as a Privateer—Ralph is a master at finding ways through regulations, skirting the law while keeping his pockets lined. But when the Terran Confed and its neighboring systems are on the brink of war, Ralph's skills as a smuggler are about to be tested in ways he's never imagined.
The Confed and its adversaries are embroiled in a conflict that spans across the galaxy, and everyone from the citizens of the Blood to the Scrap-Worlds on the Confed's outer edges will be affected. With his new commission, Ralph has the freedom to act outside the law, attacking enemy vessels and reaping rewards for every ship he takes out of the fight. But being a Privateer means more than just dodging space battles and collecting bounties—he must navigate shifting alliances and dangerous foes in a universe where everyone has something to gain and even more to lose.
Ralph’s journey takes him from the shadowy corners of the galaxy to the heart of interstellar politics, where one wrong move could spell the end for his crew and the end of his career. But with a crew of misfits and a ship that's barely holding together, Ralph has to use all his wits and cunning to survive in a galaxy that's more treacherous than he ever imagined. Every decision could be his last, and every mission is a step closer to either glory or disaster.
