One used to serve and protect the innocent. The other has barely outgrown her pirate legacy. These days, this odd couple earns their living on the aether routes in a more civilian manner. But exploring the frontiers of space is no leisure cruise, and eventually good intentions meet tough luck: When the duo get too curious about a dodgy shipwreck, they find themselves facing their own demons.
A Tale from Elsewhere is a tongue-in-cheek sci-fi romp that does not seek to reinvent the space wheel, but to provide an enjoyable foray into a world of interstellar adventure and weirdness, with a sprinkling of drama. While it serves as an appetizer for more to come, this first instalment of the Aetherborne series is also a perfectly self-contained story, and easily digested as such.
