L''astronave LS-1187 è un incrociatore interstellare che non ha mai partecipato a una vera e propria battaglia. La sua prima missione (unirsi a un convoglio di mille navi per proteggere i mondi esterni da attacchi a sorpresa) finisce quasi in un disastro e l''astronave e il suo equipaggio si guadagnano una serie di nomignoli tutt''altro che simpatici, di cui "vigliacchi" è il solo ripetibile. Ma tutti, a bordo dell''incrociatore LS-1187, sono ansiosi di lavare la macchia, e per farlo non c''è che un modo: distinguersi in azione contro la Lega dei Morthan, la più pericolosa alleanza extraterrestre che i mondi dell''uomo abbiano dovuto affrontare.

Four all-new tales of crime and pun-ishment in the classic TALES FROM THE CRYPT style--only this time they all tie together in a twisted and nightmarish way known only to the Old Witch! The main event is "Hex and the City" by writer Stefan Petrucha and artist Mr. Exes. When Japek Holsworth III takes over his father''s old business, he finds he''s the boss of three sexy, stuck-up, materialistic, shallow, female employees. When the ladies find out that Japek has a "thing" for Wiccan women, they proceed to pose as practitioners of the black arts in order to strip Japek of his valuable gems and assets. These wicked witches perform their "fake" ceremony to summon the Great Horned God, and it actually works -- until the dastardly deity gives them each what they want, but far from the way they want it.

The Man Without a Planet is a science fiction reimagining of the classic tale, The Man Without a Country-Redmonde had found his niche in the glitterships of high society, reveling in the opulence and gamesmanship it afforded, until a sudden regime change leads to his permanent exile in the far reaches of space aboard starships building a network of portals through the cosmos. He will never be allowed to see his home world again and escape would seem to be an impossibility-but when the opportunity presents itself, Redmonde disappears into legend. "In The Man Without a Planet, David Gerrold has given us an ambitious reinterpretation of a classic. In this engaging science fiction retelling of The Man Without a Country, we find the main character, Redmonde, negotiating the sharp edges of his quarantined banishment in deep space and the intersection of his personal belief system with the sledgehammer of an imposed political ideology." -Katerina Bruno, science fiction poet and 2022 SFPA Dwarf Stars Award finalist
