The legendary space pirate, Ellison Firebrandt would one day be forced to stop pirating by his own mother. She would give him the choice of being arrested, or he must settle down on another planet. Ellison chose to settle on a planet that was uninhabited with the only crew that Admiral Barbara Firebrandt left him. Carter Roberts, his lieutenant, and Suki, his lover were all destined for the same fate of isolation.

Isolation on the planet they called Sufiro would be the beginning of a new life. Suki gives birth to a daughter they all nickname Fire, and later Suki is suddenly killed by a poisonious insect. Roberts and Ellison raise Fire to be her own person, and when the time comes for Fire to explore the galaxy and start a life of her own, he will not object, he does not want her to feel the way he does toward his mother.

In the meantime Sufiro is becoming more settled with people looking for a new life. Some are perfectly happy being farmers; others come to be more greedy. Wrecking all of the dreams that Ellison pictured for his planet. It will come down to Fire's son, and the help of his pirate grandfather and a few others, to settle the war forming on Sufiro. Yes, even in space...war is possible.

Pirates is simply one of the best novels I've read. The characters are engaging and believable. The plot is both fast moving and rich. While set in the future, it reflects life as it is today.

David Lee Summers has an uncanny knack for delivering a believable futuristic story. Fast paced, this novel will knock your socks off. His characters are the most defined I've ever read. Make sure you make time to read, because once you start you will not want to stop.
