The Trophy — Bill Baldwin

THE EMPIRE'S LAST HOPE FOR FREEDOM

The long-ranging war for galactic domination ends as the Emperor Triannic and his evil League of Dark Stars suddenly sue for armistice. Empire-based radicals, seeking to maintain peace, are disabling the Fleet. And valiant Helmsman Wilf Brim is out of a job!

To survive, and to keep the love of the Princess Margot Efer-wyck, Wilf enters the great Mitchell Trophy Race. But soon he learns that the League will also be in the running, showing off their might in a secret ploy to gain new allies for a new war. Now Wilf and the Imperial Star Team must pilot a dangerously fast, experimental starship in a series of death-defying challenges against Triannic's vicious forces. Either they'll win--or sacrifice the Empire to utter tyranny.
