The Thorburn Enterprise

Commander Kurt Foreman of the I.G.O. frigate Phalarope felt he had been lumbered with a nursemaid mission to keep an eye on a team of sociologists who were all set for an investigative visit to a remote planet in O.G.A. space. The sponsor of the trip was a powerful entrepreneur with too much influence for comfort and it soon was anybody's guess as to who was protecting whom. This became clear right from the start, when, arriving on Fingalna to meet the team, Forman's first challenge was to navigate the delights and pitfalls of Malvina's--the pleasure capital of Argentus spaceport. His second challenge was to stay alive long enough to find out exactly what Thorburn was up to.
