The Mythmakers — Robert Appleton

The last will and testament of a forgotten Earth…

An Impulse Power story.

For Captain Steffi Savannah and her crew of deep space smugglers, life has become little more than a dogged exercise in mere survival. Their latest disastrous heist ended with another dead crew member -- and no place left to hide. She's even finding it hard to dredge up any excitement over the giant, crippled ship that appears on their radar, even though it's the salvage opportunity of a lifetime.

They find that it's no ordinary alien vessel. It's a ship of dreams, populated with the last remnants of Earth's mythical creatures. Including the blond, built, mysterious Arne, one of a race blessed with extraordinary beauty -- and few inhibitions. Though he won't tell her exactly what he is, in his arms Steffi rediscovers something she thought she'd never feel again. Wonder, love…and hope.

It isn't long, though, before the Royal guard tracks them down, and Steffi and her crew are faced with a terrible decision. Cut and run. Or risk everything to tow the ship and her precious cargo to safety.
