One Corner of the Sky (Zaran Journals, Book 5)

by Scott Seldon

Overview

Intergalactic trader, Ven Zaran, contracts to deliver an easy cargo to a non-confederation world. He is warned of the dangers this destination poses, but he can’t forsee that it could be something he can’t handle. While he is deliering the cargo his crew run afoul of a local regulation and his ship is seized and half his crew arrested. When Ven finally uncovers the extent of corruption in the planetary government, he realizes that he must resort to extreme measures if he wants to free his crew and get his ship back. He must turn to some underhanded tricks he learned from the parents he’d rather forget, but he will use them in his own way. Ven has dealt with some bad situations before, but a corrupt planetary government might just be harder to fight than pirates or gangsters.

About the Author

Scott Seldon lives in Colorado with his wife and family in a house brimming with old and new computers. He is a student of technology, history, anthropology, languages, and cosmology. Each separate direction of study has enriched his imagination, but he credits the creative output of George Lucas and Isaac Asimov for the direction it has taken. He turned his creativity to science fiction in his teens and has never looked back.

In his writing, Scott strives to create rich worlds and characters. Although his stories take place in the future, he often looks to the past to give his stories a solid background. He’s is more likely to watch Captain Blood than Star Wars to find inspiration on the feel of a story. He reads the latest titles by Jack McDevitt followed by C. L. Moore’s stories of Northwest Smith written decades ago with Les Miserables and the Princess of Mars next on his reading list.
