To the Galactic Rim

By A. Bertram Chandler

Book Overview

The Award-Winning Saga of Starship Captain John Grimes, Science Fiction's Horatio Hornblower, Beginning with His Early Days as a Lowly Ensign.

John Grimes will one day command his own starship, and change the course of Galactic history, but right now he's a wet-behind-the-ears junior officer who finds that he keeps running into problems which were never covered in his courses at the Academy.

The Road to the Rim--meet Lieutenant John Grimes of the Federation Survey Service; fresh out of the Academy--and as green as they come. To Prime the Pump--El Dorado is a planet with a pressing problem: the men are infertile, cause unknown, and the women want someone to Do Something! Not quite the problem young John Grimes expected to deal with . . . The Hard Way Up--a collection of seven tales of John Grime's adventures, meeting danger and winning glory out at the rim of the Galaxy. The Broken Cycle--John Grimes never intended to get lost in space, let alone being lost with a very attractive policewoman who's all business. And he really never expected to run into an entity who claims to be a god and has a garden of Eden ready and waiting for the pair.

Three novels and a story collection, all in one attractively-priced volume of space adventure.
