Science fiction and fantasy author and astronomer David Lee Summers returned to the show to discuss with Lynn Moorer the second book in his Space Pirates’ Legacy series, The Pirates of Sufiro, which begins in the year 2925 and features the space privateer Captain Ellison Firebrandt and his crew members and close friends, Suki Mori and Carter Roberts. After Firebrandt’s spaceship Legacy is raided by another ship helmed by his mother Admiral Barbara Firebrandt and left with little fuel and few supplies, Firebrandt, Suki, and Roberts decide to take their chances with crashing onto an uninhabited planet on the far side of the galaxy which is similar to Earth before it became overpopulated and virtually ruined. Besides an exploration of space and the settlement of a new planet, the story explores the birthing of new government and the potential exploitation of newly-found resources.
