The Astrogator

by Allen Shoff

Grievously injured in the final battle of a bitter war, Thomas Dyson awakens to find that he is trumpeted as a hero of the battered Republic of American States. Though a pawn to those deciding the Republic's future in space, he seizes the chance to navigate the stars as an astrogator. Haunted by his trauma, Dyson discovers that his last hope to conquer his demons lies with the very senator who exploited him, and that senator's final, desperate gamble to keep his countrymen exploring the stars.
