Ironmonger - Paperback

by Kee Briggs (Author)

Taran, the only spaceship on Earth, is sent by its owners to investigate an anomaly that has turned up in the Sun's system. Astronomers believe that it is not a naturally occurring body. The five member shake-down crew, who took Taran aloft the first time during a competitor's raid, are at the controls again. The anomaly turns out to be a garbage scow, the crew dubs "Ironmonger." It came from another system where space wars are being fought. Ironmonger collects derelict warships. Taran is pulled in too. The crew has four problems: Find water for fuel to get home, fight off the various aliens who were also collected, overcome the attractor beam they can't fly against and turn Ironmonger so none of that alien technology comes anywhere close to Earth.

Author Biography

Kee Briggs: Great fun can be had when writing science fiction and fantasy. The mind is not shackled by rigid rules and steadfast regulations but it is permitted to range as far and wide as it wants. In regular fiction, Kee never has to figure out where to place the eyes. However, that becomes an interesting decision when dealing with space aliens.
