Torchship Pilot . by Karl K Gallagher (36) $ WAR IS BAD FOR BUSINESS: The crew of the freighter Fives Full want to enjoy the profits of their dangerous voyage, but when war breaks out they're pressed into service for missions a warship can't do. I've read Torchship and Torchship Pilot. The main character is an amoral 5'2" 29 year-old woman, signing on to a space ship freighter "Fives Full" as a pilot, but secretly working as an intelligence operator with a revenge axe to grind. She and the others are Diskers i.e. from The Disconnected Worlds (not system linked/networked)/5(). Looking forward to the next book This is the sequel to Torchship, but I think it would work well as a stand-alone story. While the first book read like a series of individual episodes, Torchship Pilot flows seamlessly from beginning to end.

Gallagher, Karl K. Torchship. Torchship No. 1. Kelt Haven Press, Karl Gallagher, an M.I.T. alum, is a systems engineer in the aerospace industry who splits his fiction-writing time between space opera and fantasy. Torchship is space opera with some nice touches.
Karl Gallagher's Torchship was the runner-up for the Libertarian Futurist Society's Prometheus Award, and is represents the not uncommon occurrence of a runner-up that could just as easily have been the winner. Torchship and its sequel Torchship Pilot are both very good reads. (I’ll be posting this review under both books listings without spoilers.) There are times when is seems the pacing slows a bit too much, but overall the story rings true and you feel like it makes sense that the characters are acting as they do. Karl K. Gallagher is a systems engineer, currently performing data analysis for a major aerospace company. In the past he calculated trajectories for a commercial launch rocket start-up, operated satellites as a US Air Force officer, and selected orbits for government and commercial satellites.
