To Sail the Stars — R.B. Banfield

The Prince of Eshlon, interested more in his games and life of luxury, is forced to survive in a galaxy that he does not know and never really wanted to experience. When his family and world come under deadly attack from the Saraft, only his personal servant Dangart can save him, by hiding him aboard the Fah Jah, an old and easy to ignore growthship. With bounty hunters on his path, potential enemies on the ship, and a new identity to cope with, he is thrown into dangers at every turn. Shasla-Riol, born to Space, becoming Fah Jah captain at a young age, keen to adapt to every culture and world she visited in her life, has never met anyone like this mysterious hiding prince. She may either become a cherished friend or his greatest enemy, depending on whom amongst her crew she believes. Included is a glossary of 939 definitions. This is a story about people breaking free from their troubles. The prince who would rather be a free pilot on an ordinary ship. The man chased by another version of himself. The dumb neglected man who becomes a champion. The woman who does not understand why she has special powers. The woman denied education and yet finds the source of too many secrets.
