Starship Combat: Hyperspace Holdups

By: Potsch, Ingo

Starship Combat is hard-core Military Science Fiction. As the name has it, it's about spaceships and their struggles. They fight against other spaceships and against the forces of nature. It's action almost entirely, with very few and short calm periods in between. A short introduction to the situation and a little explanation as to how it got to be what it is are provided early on, embedded within the story. The plot centers on Junior Lieutenant Astley of the destroyer Mandana, a fast, maneuverable, long-endurance warship of mid-range size. Astley serves on the Mandana as chief officer, the second-in-command to the skipper. As the Mandana gets assigned into ever more dangerous missions, young Astley needs all his skills to cope with the challenges and bring his ship and crew back home. The Mandana's deployments are related to the war against the Aesuron Empire, a technologically advanced and very dangerous enemy. The war against the Aesuron had been started without much of a reason, not to mention a good reason, but now that it is going on, the situation requires a solution to avoid total annihilation. With the hope of contributing to the longed-for decisive victory, Astley faces decisions and challenges which demand more of him than he ever thought possible.
