Privateers of Mars

By Matthew Castleman

Meet Jacob Rhys: scoundrel, brawler, gambler, drunk, and licensed privateer working for the Free Mars State-until the authorities on Ceres seized his ship. When shipyard engineer Valerie Morton found him a week later to show him the official report on what was discovered in his cargo hold, Rhys read it and began tapping nervously on the grip of his sidearm.

Then he stopped tapping and looked up at her.

"I'm getting my command crew back together. We're short an engineer. Do you have strong aversions to petty or grand larceny, extortion, card cheating, recreational and spiritual drug use, sexual practices that may involve recreational and spiritual drug use, and ubiquitous, often unnecessary violence?"

After a slight hesitation, Morton shook her head.

"Good. Welcome to the crew."
