Book Description
================
Military discipline and honor have been a poor match for Capt. Wilson
Cole's life of pillaging and plundering. Seeking a better way of life,
the Teddy R. has become a mercenary ship, hiring out to the highest
bidder. Whether it's evacuating a hospital before war can reach it,
freeing a client from an alien prison, or stopping a criminal cartel
from extorting money from a terrified planet, the crew of the Teddy
R. proves equal to the task. Along the way, they form a partnership
with the once human Platinum Duke, team up with a former enemy, and
make the unique Singapore Station their headquarters.
The life of a mercenary is not always predictable. Circumstance now
pits Cole and the Teddy R. against the former Pirate Queen, Valkyrie.
Soon the fragile trust that has grown between these two legends is put
to the test as they find themselves on opposite sides of a job.

Ripped ~~ BigO ~~ May 26, 2008
The date is 1968 of the Galactic Era, almost three thousand years from
now. The Republic, created by the human race but not yet dominated by
it, is in the midst of an all-out war with the Teroni Federation. Captain
Wilson Cole, a man with a reputation for exceeding orders but getting
results, found himself the victim of a media feeding frenzy, a political
scapegoat despite years of dedicated military service. Faced with a
court martial, he was rescued by the loyal crew of his ship, the Theodore
Roosevelt. Branded mutineers, the Teddy R. has quit the Republic, never
to return.
Seeking to find a new life, Wilson Cole first remade the Teddy R. as
a pirate ship plying the spaceways of the lawless Inner Frontier. But
military discipline and honor were a poor match for a life of pillaging
and plundering, and Cole's principles naturally limited his targets.
Seeking a better way of life, the Teddy R. becomes a mercenary ship,
hiring out to the highest bidder. Whether it's evacuating a hospital
before war can reach it, freeing a client from an alien prison, or stopping
a criminal cartel from extorting money from a terrified planet, the
crew of the Teddy R. proves equal to the task. Along the way they form
a partnership with the once human Platinum Duke, team up with a former
enemy, and make the unique Singapore Station their headquarters.
But the life of a mercenary is not always predictable, and eventually
circumstance pits Cole and the Teddy R. against his right-hand woman,
the former Pirate Queen known as the Valkyrie. Soon the fragile trust
that has grown between these two legends is put to the test as they
find themselves on opposite sides of a job.
