About the Book
INTERSTELLAR TROUBLESHOOTERS
The Polesotechnic League of star traders was prospering, and Nicholas
Van Rijn, its most flamboyant member, was prospering most of all. But
not all League members played fair when trading, nor did some of the
non-human races of the galaxy object to dirty tricks. And Van Rijn could not be everywhere at once to flummox his competitors and adversaries.
Fortunately, he could rely on his crack team of star traders.
David Falkayn: Team leader and younger son of a baronial house on the
planet Hermes, he commands the starship Muddlin' Through.
Chee Lan: Covered with silky white fur on the outside, and with a short-fused temper on the inside.
Adzel: Looking like a centaurian dragon, he's as imperturbable as Chee
Lan is high-strung, and abhors violence, though he has no problem defending himself, or his comrades.
Muddlehead: The computer who handles most of the operations of the ship, and often shows initiative at the most unexpected times. Now if only it didn't sound so smug
when it wins at poker...
