  • The second in a three-volume collection of the legendary John Grimes books!
    If space travel is going to be anything like sailing the oceans, then A. Bertram
    Chandler has surely caught its absolute essence in his Grimes novels. Here it
    is, the entire “Captain John Grimes — Far Traveller Courier”
    saga, collected in one volume. These are the tales of John Grimes’
    action-packed merchantman and courier years. After moving on from the Terran
    Navy, Grimes tries his hand at leading a private life, and finds he likes being
    his own man. The only problem is, his ship The Far Traveller has a (very
    stubborn and very feminine) mind of its own — and a penchant for getting
    Grimes into the worse sort of interplanetary pickles.
  • Includes: The Far Traveller (with the classic John Grimes stories
    that started it all), Star Courier, To Keep the Ship,
    Matilda’s Stepchildren, Star Loot, The Anarch Lords,
    The Last Amazon, and The Wild Ones.
