The Rogue of Space, Episode 2

Trained by the Galactic Council's very own schools for travelling in deep space. That's where skill sets needed to captain a starship are best taught. Although it's been quite some time since Koran's taken a direct GC task. Nowadays, they've been working wild specialty jobs. All for an underground network, ran by a Gorbulon who's referred to as the Contractor.

Kor's been back on Danar V for a full standard week. Where his friends and favourite intergalactic diner are located. In that timeframe they've had some equipment, plus their new spaceship, enhanced. When they're next called back out to work, they know only key details about their mission. A crate of unknown contents needs to be delivered to a far-off planet. Happily back off in the cosmos, and travelling between the stars, they set themselves on an automated course to make the delivery.

A mysterious entity who's being held captive by the evil Curator contacts our hero to suit up and storm the castle in order to save this alien in dire need of help.

The Curator doesn't know who's responsible for stealing their most prized possession. But they vow to bombard the world where the mysterious entity learned their priceless skills from. Now Koran must decide on finding a way of saving an entire planet of innocents, whom they've never met before, or going straight back to the Contractor for payment and the lead on their next job. This is where we'll see how deeply the GC's captaincy training program's roots have made their mark on Koran, The Rogue of Space.

The Rogue of Space is a series of novellas, and "A Telepathic Calling" is the 2nd instalment of the collection. Perfect for fans of: Star Trek, The Book of Boba Fett, and Asimov's Foundation series.
