- Synopsis
- A. Bertram Chandler was born in the United States but spent most of his writing career in Australia. His most enduring contribution to science fiction is John Grimes who he and others have described as the Horatio Hornblower of space. All of these novels were written between 1964 and 1984. In this first omnibus the novels are: The Road to the Rim; To Prime the Pump; The Hard Way Up; Spartan Planet; and John Grimes will one day be a Commodore in the cessionist Rim World Navy, out at the edge of the galaxy here the laws of men are nonexistent and those of nature sometimes tenuous. But for now he is just a very green senior officer in the service of the Federation. If he keeps out of trouble, he'll rise to the rank of Admiral; all he has to do is follow the rules-and he is determined to do just that, but being John Grimes, he'll find it more difficult than he imagined....
