— Appears in: Коммандер Граймс 2004; 'Drongo Kane never broke the law.... He was a cunning, ruthless opportunist who paid when he had to and stole when he could -- but never when there was the slightest chance of getting caught. That's what had John Grimes worried: here was Kane directly under the watchful eyes -- and guns -- of a Federation Survey vessel, openly engaging in kidnapping and trafficking in human flesh! Despite the fact that the beautiful inhabitants of this Lost Colony faced a fate worse than death, a more cautious -- or less gallant -- officer would do nothing -- secure in the knowledge that regardless of appearances there would be some loophole that placed the Law squarely on Kane's side. But Grimes, being Grimes, would have to act -- knowing full well that to "interfere with a merchantman on her lawful occasions" meant a blasted career... and knowing too that Drongo Kane never broke the law..'

— Appears in: Urania , October no. 499 1968; (p. 3-119) Le Vie Della Frontiera : Ciclo Galattico di A. Bertram Chandler 1979; (p. 5-96)
— Appears in: Коммандер Граймс 2004; Ensign John Grimes of the Federation Survey Service is fresh out of the Academy and as green as they come. After boarding the Interstellar Transport Commission's merchant spaceship Delta Orionis as a passenger bound for deep space, Grimes finds himself involved, reluctantly, in salvaging another ship which has been attacked by space pirates. It doesn't help that his decision-making process has been influenced by the more than attractive Jane Pentecost (and Grimes is as green with women as his he is as a spaceman), or as a consequence of having been put under guard as a mutineer. As much as the odds will be stacked against him, Grimes soon begins to earn his infamous reputation as a 'lucky bastard.'

— Appears in: Urania , January no. 114 1956; (p. 3-113) 'The last five men on Earth . . . that's how the small expedition team felt - lost in unexplored desert and facing a dangerous enemy. On the second day giant insects abducted the team's leader - and then there were four. The next night the youngest member of the group was killed - and then there were three. Then the other men raced for safety but the weakest couldn't make it - and then there were two. 'Just two men against an army of super-intelligent extraordinarily strong creatures. But when the older of the two men surrendered to the enemy, there was just one - but only for a short, terrible time'. Source: publisher's blurb.
