Prologue

Gladys Hawke

She crouched in the cellar. Blood dripped from her chin and her head rang from a blow. The ground

shook as tronic bombs hit, and from outside there came the sound of splintering wood and crunching

metal. Over and over loudspeakers broadcast the emergency warning, “Get out of the streets. Stay in

your homes. If you have cellars, use them for shelter. Get out of the streets. Stay in…” The mechanical

voice continued without inflection.

Something approached…metallic steps, a skittery sound, and hissing. She closed her eyes and tried to

slow her frantic gasps for breath. Digging her fingers into the crumbling cement, she tried to remember the

words to the prayers her mother used to say, but her mind remained blank. The alien Sargrys roaming the

streets made remembering impossible. All she could recall were her own screams as they caught her, and

then everything went black. She was here now…or was she? Memory or reality? She couldn’t be sure.

Then a dark shadow fell over her and she looked up, and began to scream again.

Tagor

He knew he dreamt, but he didn’t try to wake up. In his dream he was on an ancient sailing ship and a

woman lay next to him. Gentle waves moved the ship; night shadowed the scene. Stars spangled the

black velvet sky, but no moon cast light on the dark ocean. The ship floated alone in the deep night. He

reached his hand out. The deck still felt warm from the sun though; the night had just begun.

The woman next to him lay in shadow. He couldn’t see her, although he tried. All he knew of her was

the warmth of her skin, her scent, musk and honey, and her taste, salty-sweet, still in his mouth. He ran

his tongue over his lips. Her kisses had been slow and sweet. She murmured, and he strained to hear her

voice. “Tagor,” she whispered, and the hair on the back of his neck prickled.

He raised himself on his elbows and tried to see her. Her eyes opened, and he caught a glimpse of

starlight sparkling in their depths, but he couldn’t make out their color. And then she arched her back and

said, “Make love to me, Tagor.”

At her words, a blast of heat filled his belly. His cock got hard so quickly he groaned and had to roll

over. She reached for him and wrapped her fingers around his erection. She held it lightly at first, and he

sensed fear, so he soothed her. “Shhh,” he said. Holding his breath, he slid his hands over her body. “It’s

all right, I’ll never hurt you,” he murmured.

She was strong. Her fear ebbed and her hand continued its exploration. Slowly at first, then as she

gained confidence, she kneaded his cock, cupping his balls, twining her fingers in his wiry pubic hair.

He stroked her body. He could feel what he could not see; she was tall, slender, strong, and smooth.

When he cupped her breasts in his hands, her skin was smooth as silk. The nipples of her large, firm

breasts hardened against his palms. He bent his head, licking at her breast, and took a nipple in his

mouth. He sucked it, gently at first, then as he felt her writhing, harder, until she cried out and arched her

back. She cupped her own breast, holding it up to his mouth, and little stabs of excitement rushed

through him. Spurts of precum shot from his penis, and the woman gave a soft chuckle as her fingers now

slid and slipped over his cock.

She sat up and knelt over him. He tried to see her, but the darkness still hid her. He could hear her

though, and she was breathing fast. Then she bent her head down and trailed kisses over his chest and

down his stomach. When her lips slid over the head of his cock, he pressed his hands to the deck, trying

to control himself. He wanted to thrust into her, give it to her hard and fast, but part of him wished it

would last forever.

Her body rocked against him, he felt her legs open and she pressed her cunt against his shin. It was hot

and slippery, and the scent of her arousal filled his nostrils. Her mouth, insistent and demanding, sucked

at his cock; her tongue twirled around it. She squeezed him harder with her fingers, and he came a bit

more before he gritted his teeth and managed to stop.

“Come, sit on me,” he begged.

She purred, her mouth vibrating on his penis. Then she slowly licked to the very top, poking the tip of

her tongue into the tiny slit, penetrating him. His cock hardened even more, and he gasped at the

sensation.

Then, in one smooth movement, she straddled him, her body outlined against the sky. Using her hand,

she guided his stiff cock into her soft body. Her cunt was slick with desire. He felt her juices coat his

balls, and he smelled her need, hot and arousing; it drove him mad. But he knew, somehow he knew, that

he shouldn’t move. He had to lie on his back and not move.

Why? How did he know? Who was she?

The thoughts fluttered through his mind, but he didn’t want to dwell on them. Her tight pussy sliding

down the length of his shaft intoxicated him. He trembled with the effort of staying still. He groaned, his

whole body tense as a wire. “I’m coming,” he managed to gasp, and then he did. His cock jerked as he

ejaculated into her, his arms outspread, his shoulders shaking. She gave a small cry and she pressed

down upon him, her cunt opening and closing around his cock. Their bodies convulsed together, bound

them together. And then he opened his mind to her…

Now he was hers forever. He could never leave her, or he would die.

Tagor sat up in his bed, sweat running in rivulets down his chest. What kind of a dream left him wrung

out and exhausted? Why had he dreamt of a woman he’d never seen when he happened to be

surrounded by women? Could it be linked to the stress of the past few months? Gods of the Green Seas,

he hoped not! He’d sworn to avoid his empathic skills after Kelva. His teeth ached and he realized he’d

clenched his jaw. Swearing softly, he rubbed his head.

Why? Why think of Kelva now? It had been years since he’d made the mistake of bonding with her

emotionally and she’d broken that bond, nearly killing him in the process. Years since his teachers had

sent him away from his home in Eisos saying his powers of empathy were too great—he got in too

deeply.

He stepped into his sonic shower and pushed the chrome button. Tingling waves cleansed his skin, but

his mind remained fuzzy, still lost in the vestiges of his dream. Why had he dreamed of that woman? What

did she have to do with him? And why did he sense danger when he thought about her? His life was

dangerous enough.

Tagor the Pirate was wanted in twenty solar systems.

The answers remained locked in his head, and already he couldn’t recall the least detail about the

woman in his dream. How strange—

His comlink buzzed, and he pressed it. “Tagor here.”

“I’ve had a late night inspiration.” The voice came over the line in a computer-generated buzz. Its owner

wanted to remain anonymous, but Tagor knew to whom he spoke and his skin prickled.

“What’s that?” He kept his voice even, despite his anticipation, and the last traces of his dream faded as

he swung his legs over the side of his bed and grabbed his uniform.

“Something that might come in very handy. A new acquisition for your harem. A woman wanted by a

certain sect of red men for stealing a fabulous ruby.”

“I see. You think I can bargain with her, is that it?”

“I think that you should try it.” The voice dropped to almost a whisper. “There is no more time left. In

another month, everyone will know that the Sargrys have returned, and there will be panic. She hates the

Sargrys. She’ll help.”

Tagor drew a deep breath and wiped his hand over his face. “I hope you’re right.”

“Good luck.”

“I’ll need it.” Tagor clicked off his comlink and stared, unseeing, at his antique star map. The fate of the

galaxy rested on his shoulders and it was crushing him.

Chapter One

The spaceport bar was closed for repairs, a usual state of affairs, so Gladys Hawke, pilot for the

Ever-Gee, the largest Federation trade spaceship, caught the tube shuttle and plunged down the

mountainside towards the narrow sprinkle of lights illuminating Miner’s Town. She was alone. Her best

friend, Cha’ng, refused to hang out in space bars, claiming they were a waste of time and space. Gladys

objected, saying she met most of her friends in those places. Cha’ng just snorted and said that explained

a lot. The joke still made her chuckle, but she would have liked his company tonight. Little things

bothered her lately and her edgy mood drove her out of the cramped quarters of the Ever-Gee and off in

search of a cold beer.

As she strolled along Main Street, the only street in that mining town, she noticed a cina-max theater for

three-D movies, an entertainment hall, a zero gravity sifting-station for the miners to sort their haul, and
