Starflight: Tales from the Starport Loun Robert Silverberg, William Joseph Roberts, D.J. Butler, Michael J. Allen, Christopher Woods, Bart Kemper, Benjamin Tyler Smith, Brisco Woods, David A Tatum, Declan Finn, Michael Gants, Philip K. Booker, Marisa Wolf, R.J. Ladon & J.F. Posthumus
Seventeen incredible authors. Seventeen amazing stories. One fantastic sci-fi universe, where the only limit is one’s imagination. Welcome to Starflight.

Based on the exploration-based Starflight video game series created by Greg Johnson and the Binary Systems team, the stories in Tales from the Starport Lounge flesh out and shine a light into the darkest corners of the known universe. Join the last vestiges of Humanity and their alien allies (the reptilian Thrynn, the insectoid Velox, and the plant-based Elowan) as they attempt to carve out their own territory in a sector of space filled with wondrous opportunity and deadly threats. Brave explorers seek out new worlds to colonize while merchants cruise from starport to starport, their holds laden with exotic goods.

Not all in this futuristic setting have noble intent. For every prospector and trader attempting to make a difference, a dozen pirates, smugglers, and mobsters engage in all manner of criminal enterprise. Gangs fill the underbellies of every major city and raid the trade routes between the stars, pushing the outnumbered and outgunned Interstel Police to their limit and forcing civilians to take matters into their own hands. It’s a rough-and-tumble universe, where one wrong move could spell doom for an expedition or grant enough wealth to buy a planet. 

Board your ship and set course for stars unknown! The universe awaits.
