It is quarter to four in the morning, and I have just now finished the final draft of STARQUEST: PIRATE KING OF STAR PATROL, and typed the opening page of the next volume STARQUEST: THE SINISTER SYNDICATE OF SPACE.

The ancestral deathmask of the Ancient Mariner, acting from beyond The Beyond, together with the Shine Maiden Lirazel with her mystic longbow, have aided Athos Lone, ace agent of Star Patrol, into overcoming Lord Pestilence, first of the Four Dark Overlords.

Now the wraithlike spymaster Nightshadow must fight a secret one-man cold war with the corrupt organization supplying the pirate bands of Andromeda, the Interstellar Syndicate of Felony Worlds, where crime is legal and law is forbidden. The galactic mastermind known only as The Faceless Man, if found, may lead to the second of the Dark Overlords, Lord Famine.

I will reveal more details as I know them.
