David Clegg and The Aule Stratagem Part One: Slave Ship

David Clegg, author of The Aule Stratagem Part One: Slave Ship

About the Book: The Aule Sector, a crucial region of space between the Confederacy of Bellona and the League of Independent Systems, is being plagued by piracy.

Lieutenant Commander Michael Patterson, newly assigned tactical officer on CSS Aurora, is part of the Confederate Navy's response. Intelligence reports tell him that pirate attacks are increasing by the day and patrol ships are being evaded. The news that frontline warships are in these scavengers’ hands adds to the tension. Many crews have been captured and sold into slavery; their cargo now pirate booty. Cara Tayley’s ship is one of those destroyed by the vultures, and she and her crew are now prisoners. But she will not go quietly, she will fight against the vile pirates that have them, even if it means her death. Better that than a slave.

Patterson is out to complete his mission and stop these marauders, he may be Tayley’s only hope of salvation. But questions plague the crew of the Aurora. What is really going on in the Aule Sector? How are the pirates so well informed and well-armed? Is there a traitor on the station? Can Patterson find the answers, make the sector safe and find Tayley before it is too late?

About the Beverage: David recommends pairing his novel with “The authentic rum of the Royal Navy, issued to sailors daily until 1977, Pusser’s is a delicious and eminently sippable dark rum. The perfect tot to appreciate while enjoying action-packed military sci-fi.”
