Hell's Jesters
Description
The Grand Galactic Alliance rots from within, and now the disease is terminal.
As interplanetary governance deteriorates, the mega-corporations sweep into the vacuum with their own form of order, propped up by brute, paramilitary force. Lives mean nothing. Profit overrides peace. And everyone is out for themselves.
The people cry out for heroes. They find them in the Hell's Jesters, once marauders of the space lanes, now outlaws with a cause. This motley band of crusaders and criminals, human and renegade AI, will speak truth to power with firepower.
Laughing at death, fighting like hell, they might be enough to free the galaxy.

Person
Born too strange for a normal world, K.J. Coble endures adulthood through long-distance running, rock 'n' roll guitar, and his writing. A love of history, weird fiction, and explosions fills his world-building. In his stories the righteous may suffer, but the corrupt get their comeuppance, and evil always receives its justly-deserved kick in the teeth.
Lairing somewhere in the Midwest, he is tolerated by his wife, three kids, and a very opinionated coonhound.
His home on the web is kjcoble.com. Email at kj@kjcoble.com.
