Trwa wojna pomiędzy Republiką, a Federacją Teroni. Kapitan Wilson Cole na pokładzie "Teodora Roosevelta" obiera kurs na słynącą z bezprawia Wewnętrzną Granicę. Ale zawodowi żołnierze nie potrafią odnaleźć się w rolach piratów, a kodeks honorowy kapitana zawęża pole pirackiego manewru. Cole szuka lepszego sposobu na życie: zmienia załogę "Teddy'ego R." w jednostkę najemników, zawiera sojusz z Platynowym Księciem i zakłada bazę na Singapurze - unikalnej stacji kosmicznej.

Kapitan Wilson Cole ma na swoim koncie miliony ocalonych istnień i dziesiątki trafnych decyzji, które jednak ośmieszyły dowództwo Floty. Staje się kozłem ofiarnym i obiektem medialnej nagonki. Wraz z wierną załogą, jako buntownik ucieka na pokładzie "Teodora Roosevelta" poza granice Republiki. Tam, dokąd trafią, toczy się bezpardonowa gra o przetrwanie. Wybiera bezprawie, ale z jego kodeksem honorowym niełatwo być piratem.

Jest rok 1966 Ery Galaktycznej. Stworzona przez ludzi Republika musi stawić czoła Federacji Teroni, związku obcych ras, które dominację człowieka w Galaktyce uznają za największe z zagrożeń. "Teodor Roosevelt" otrzymuje rozkaz transferu do Gromady Feniksa. Ma patrolować i chronić znajdujące się tam 73. zamieszkane planety. "Teddy R" to przestarzały okręt wojenny, który powinien był zostać pocięty na żyletki zanim wybuchła ta wojna. Z załogą też nie lepiej: sami nieudacznicy z problemami z dyscypliną i im podobne indywidua.

Her name is Lisa, and ever since Eddie Raven hooked up with her, strange things keep happening. How strange? Lisa can take on any role at a moment’s notice. She’s Maid Marian. She’s Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice. In an instant, she can become the sexy, gum-chewing secretary to his hard-boiled detective. She can even become Doc Holliday’s frontier lady, Big Nose Kate.

Eddie Raven isn't quite sure what's happening to him - and he's in a race to find out before it kills him. His adventures begin with a shooting in a very strange shop in Manhattan - but soon he finds himself the owner of a very familiar bar in Casablanca. By the time he adjusts to that reality, he's suddenly become one of several undersized people helping a young woman search for a wizard. But as he rushes to solve the mystery of his many appearances, a larger threat looms. Because someone or something is stalking him through time and space with deadly intent.

He has no bank account on any world, no financial or property holdings that anyone has been able to trace. His planet of origin is unknown. Many men have served him; all but seven are dead, and none of those seven have ever seen him. He is a fugitive. His name is Conrad Bland and he is, for the moment, safe. But someone has sent an assassin to find him - and end him. Chief Detective John Sable is caught between his badge and his conscience as the two most famous executioners of all time prepare to do battle in his territory.

Combining short fiction with speculative history, this entertaining book invites listeners to look at what didn't happen to gain a richer understanding of what did. What if Napoleon had become emperor of the United States? Could one faulty screw have altered America's atomic-bomb policy? If Lincoln had been assassinated during the Gettysburg Address, would the Confederate States have remained a separate country?
