Having exposed the dark innards of the galaxy and pilfered its treasure, the warlord Frohic sets his sights on a new target: the Outer Rim. With a gleaming armada of Imperial ships at his disposal, Frohic arrives to find a populace subjugated beneath the iron tales of a legion of frost-breathing lizards—the Shikasta. War ensues, but the shikasta’s uncanny powers exploit a weakness in the armada. As one ship falls after another, Fro is forced to—
No. For the third time. No!
Frohic here. I’ve found myself in another fix. Jobs got scarce and everything went tails up. Captain Abs took us to the smelly end of the galaxy to find work and to give me a present I never asked for. Next thing you know, there are pirates chasing us, lizards shocking us, and a whole lot of Stelltron corporate hijinks that I’m not real clear on. Also, there’s time spent underwater, crazed metallic demons, wasted time, and a dead friend or two.
Despite all that, the crew still thinks I’m lucky.
I’m lucky, all right. But my luck is all bad.
