Summary

There's a hero in all of us. And one scientist is willing to kill to find it....

Dorian Anino thought her research would change the world. The discovery of the so-called "hero-gene" taught her and her team that it was possible for some humans to have incredible strength, speed, and agility. But when Dorian discovers that the gene only expresses in people on the brink of death, her team can't help but be disappointed. Except for Dorian's protégé, who opts to poison the water supply to unearth more heroes....

Luc Gray is a hero through and through. But when the squadron leader loses a pilot and then his command in quick succession, he has no idea what to do next. Without a mission, he jumps at an assignment from Dorian to investigate the pilot's death. But when the mission puts him in grave danger, Luc is about to find out just how much of a hero he is....

To defeat a scientist who wants to play god, Dorian may just have to create her own team of heroes....

On a Pale Ship is the first book in a new series in the Privateer Tales universe, a set of military sci-fi space operas. If you like amazing tech, superhuman abilities, and interstellar action, then you'll love Jamie McFarlane's powerful tale.

When almost dead is only the beginning

Another great tale by Jamie McFarlane, set in the privateer universe a new crew is created to help those in need.

The tale is well spoken and engaging, a definite read for fans of Jamie's stories.

Intriguing

I have been fan of Jamie McFarlane since I discovered the Privateer Tales series. On a Pale Ship starts off at a very fast pace with various murders in different situations, the many threads of which will be drawn together a little later.

Although I liked the book, with one or two references taking me back to Privateer Tales, I will reserve judgement as to whether or not it will be as good as PT if it follows on.
