STRANGE ALLIES


JORRY was a space freebooter, a member of the dying breed of individualistic adventurers who roamed through space, doing what they wished, taking what they wanted, and fleeing the growing tyranny of the intergalactic empire.

AXXAL was born an underling, one of a despised race whom the space lords had made their helpless servants.  But Axxal unlike his brothers refused to obey the Imperial edicts, and dreamed of freedom not only for himself but for all the oppressed.

No two men could have been more different.  Yet together they vowed to topple the mightiest power that the universe had ever known...

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.

See my librarything icon librarything page. I use this site to catalogue books and it has more details on books than goodreads does.
