    August 27, 2008: This is a really good anthology featuring fifteen stories on a space pirates theme. There are a number of talented writers contributing. My favorite was 'The Claims Adjuster' by David B. Riley, where an insurance claims adjuster is determined to eradicate piracy which is running up the cost of shipping.
