Murray Leinsters The Pirates of Ersatz is a lively work of classic science fiction set in a future where piracy has taken on a startlingly modern form. In a universe of interstellar commerce and expanding trade routes, ships no longer sail the seasbut the ancient temptations of theft and adventure remain very much alive.When space freighters begin disappearing and valuable cargoes vanish along the trade lanes, suspicion falls upon a new and highly unusual form of piracy. Instead of brute force or open battle, these pirates employ cunning schemes and technological tricks to divert shipments and manipulate the vast logistical networks that sustain interplanetary commerce.Leinster, one of the great innovators of the Golden Age of science fiction, blends suspense, ingenuity, and humor as his characters confront a criminal enterprise adapted perfectly to the age of space travel. The story reflects the authors enduring fascination with practical science, engineering problems, and the ways human ingenuity can be used for both progress and mischief. The Pirates of Ersatz remains an entertaining example of classic science fiction adventure from one of the fields most prolific and influential writers.
