1 y separately published work icon Galactic Courier : The John Grimes Saga III A. Bertram Chandler , New York (City) : Baen Books , 2011 Z1843035 2011 selected work novella science fiction 'Number three in a four-volume collection of the legendary John Grimes of the Galactic Rim series. Classic Star Trek meets the high seas. If space travel is going to be anything like sailing the oceans, then A. Bertram Chandler has surely caught its absolute essence in his Grimes novels. Here are the crowning tales of Grimes' career - the Grimes "Rim Commodore" stories. In these tales, Grimes has found his true calling out on the edge of galactic civilization. He's the sheriff of a realm where pioneer colonies and parallel dimensions overlap, and a starship captain must be prepared for adventure in all possible worlds.

Galactic Courier brings together all previous Commodore Grimes tales - Star Courier, To Keep the Ship, Matilda's Stepchildren, and Star Loot.
