Resnick, Mike: STARSHIP: PIRATE

The date is 1967 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, an alliance of races that resent Man´s growing military and economic power.

After his latest exploit saved millions of lives but embarrassed his superiors, Captain Wilson Cole, a man with a reputation for exceeding orders but getting results, found himself the victim of the media feeding frenzy, a political scape-goat despite years of dedicated military service. Faced with a court-martial, he was rescued by the loyal crew of his ship, the Theodore Roosvelt. Now branded mutineers, the Teddy R has quit the Republic, never to return.
