| Omschrijving | Essef - The stealer of lives is driven to a flight from death... The story is about a psychotic amoral space pirate called Shannon. He used to be the executive officer on a peacekeeping military patrol vessel, but lost his job because of a compassionate attempt to save some prisoners that endangered his ship and crew. So he developed into a man who doesn't care for anything or anyone. As the mythmaster, he and his crew raid planetary populations by first dropping hallucinogenic pellets from the air (the mythmaster drug), landing in pods and selectively harvesting genetic material from the captive population. In the initial sequence they remove fertilised eggs from newly pregnant women. He then delivers his bounty to specialist clients. The main thrust of the story is Shannon's fight against his slowly reforming humanity/conscience brought about by a complex and strange love triangle between himself, his gay astrogator Starson, and Starson's prostitute ex-wife Reba Carlo. |
