| Lena is traveling solo in deep space, glad to get away from the perfection of thirty-first century Earth, when the computer implanted in her brain informs her that a pirate ship is heading her way. The leader of the pirates, Flanagan, wins the battle and boards her ship, telling her she is a hostage to be used in negotiations with Cheo, the dictator of Earth. He knows of the special relationship that exists between the two of them and intends to exploit that.
Lena knows that when it looks hopeless, Cheo will let her get killed. Flanagan has plans and one includes the liberation of his homeworld, Cambria, a slave colony ruled by doppelganger robots who are inhabited by the minds of the elite on Earth. He has a plan that would allow the crew to disconnect Cambria from the universal web. From there he convinces the pirates from all over the galaxy to help him disconnect the beacons, which would result in isolating Earth and freeing the empire. The only problem is the empire has warships in the millions, and the pirates have ships in the six digit range. Philip Palmer writes a terrific space opera and Debatable Space would make a great marquee movie in the tradition of Star Wars. Alien races co-exist with humanity, and the aliens are major characters, so readers feel as if they actually exist. Readers ride an orbital roller coaster that takes us to various planets in the galaxy, making the audience realize how enslaved the human race is if they don't live on Earth. | |||
