Tech Law: Vehicle Manual

Spacemaster 3rd Ed

by Robert J. Defendi, Bob Defendi

"So fess up, Whats your sci-fi fantasy? A sleek, ultra-luxurious space yacht with accommodations for a few select friends? Perhaps you prefer to rough it in a converted freighter or a surplus military vessel or a smugglers ship? No? Well maybe we can tempt you to climb into the cockpit of the newest and most advanced deep space fighter. We can even arrange a command for you on a star destroyer.
Nothing says sci-fi like starship. The Vehicle Manual lets you fly to the nearest star, planet, or across the galaxy. Explore the weird swamp you found on the third moon, hop across town to buy some groceries, or if you prefer move entire populations across the galaxy. The Vehicle Manual gives you the power.
The third Tech Law book, the Vehicle Manual covers all types of vehicles: cars, boats, rockets, planetary shuttles, deep space fighters, interstellar destroyers. The manual includes sample vehicles, vehicle design, combat rules, and salvage and repair guidelines."

Robert J Defendi was born in Dubuque, IA (in accordance with prophecy). He reads voraciously, if you consider audiobooks reading (which you shouldn’t). He has yet to find, conquer, and rule a small Central American country (but I think we all know that’s inevitable). He is neither Team Jacob nor Team Edward (he is sympathetic to Team Guy-Who-Almost-Hit-Bella-With-A-Truck). He shamelessly stole that last joke.

It’s Bob Defendi when he writes comedy. It’s Robert J Defendi for all other writing projects. No period after the J. Because he’s an ass who likes to make things difficult for publishers, that’s why.
