The 16th and 17th centuries saw the emergence of a new threat to government and organized society. Privateers and pirates raided along the coast of powerful countries and were, at times, at war with England, France, and Spain. They developed their own system of rules, a code of morality, and a very rough form of government. Pirates were eventually able to organize behind a captain who eventually would become like a governor with judicial power over all the pirates and control over settlements taken by the pirates in raids.

It seems that the FDR writer is back wanting more Fe-As-Ko stories from cowpoke Royal Leckner. This time it's 1897, Royal and E.M. have been married about four years.

It's time to take the cattle to Portland for the annual sale, and Royal is bringing Leviticus along to teach him how "to sign on the dotted line."

L'Universo ha 13,8 miliardi di anni. Da quando si è formata, la Terra ha compiuto intorno al Sole quattro miliardi e mezzo di orbite. È un tempo impensabile, un tempo infinito.

Eppure, da quando siamo comparsi sulla faccia del pianeta, da quando abbiamo iniziato ad accendere fuochi per tenere a bada la notte, non abbiamo mai smesso di alzare gli occhi alla volta senza confini. A meravigliarci per tutto quell'infinito sopra di noi, per tutto quello che non possiamo vedere.
