STAR-PILOT
GRAINGER: #5

The oldest spacefaring race in the galaxy were the secretive Gallacellans. The most difficult type of planet to explore is the heavy gas giant, the Jovian-Saturnian type planet with which all star systems abound.

Somewhere on the storm-ridden unapproachable surface of such a monstrous gas giant an abandonded Gallacellan warship was lying. It was reputed to be armed with the device known to legend as the Fenris weapon.

Such stories attract adventurers thristing for power. Such tales also attract the masters of the HOODED SWAN who sought knowledge rather than power. And when they gave orders, Grainger of the double-mind had no choice but to obey.

It was up to Grainger therefore to take a little walk where no man had ever gone before - in a hell of nature's making and man's ambitions.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
