Chase of the Teal Tiger (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Dominick Chase is a less than successful bounty hunter in the Trigellan League, a collection of several thousand stars governed by the Protector. When the Protector's life is threatened, evidence points to Brenna, the daughter of his most trusted advisor, his former betrothed. The Protector does not believe the accusations--until her own father accuses her as well. She flees her home planet, thereby sealing belief in her guilt. A tremendous bounty is offered for the capture of the lovely Brenna, although upon discovering news of the bounty on the Bounty Hunters' Network, Dominick is more concerned with the price on her head than the attractiveness of her head itself. Dominick sets out with his rag-tag crew, Varian, who considers himself a coward, Nico, who is wealthy and considers bounty hunting an adventure, and Brentt, the mechanic who holds the Teal Tiger together. Starting from a clue picked up in a dive on a backwater world, they quickly find their target bounty, but the first problem is keeping hold of her. From deadly jousts, ship crashes, a Lost City of Gold, a stupid Licensed Adventurer, and a deadly underground cult, from there the second problem is deciding whether or not Brenna really is guilty. The penalty for her crime is death. Does she deserve it?

Autor

Margaret Ernsberger was bitten by the writing bug when she was in junior high school. She and her sister rented a second typewriter for a month to try their hand at it. Later their parents gave each one of them their own typewriter. Margaret got a second-hand Underwood, which she still has to this day, and which still still works!
In high school, the local branch of the World Future Society had a science fiction writing contest. Her creature writing teacher suggested she enter, and she got an honorable mention. Awards were given at a dinner where Hugh Downs was the guest speaker, and who gave out the awards.
In the early 1980s, she began work on "Chase of the Teal Tiger," and later, in the year 2000, while working on trying to sell it, she entered in the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Contest and won First Place in the Scifi/H/F category.
She is a graduate of Calhoun Community College in Decatur, Alabama, having made the Dean's List three times.
