The HPA Saga (mirror)

Long Range Cruiser

by The Elite BBS

In May 2002, the EBBS embarked on what would become a masterwork of collaborative fiction. Written in all by ten or more authors over three years, it is a sweeping tale of consipiracy, betrayal, friendship and ambition. For the first time, it is here compiled into seven pocket sized collections.

Revelations and Interludes: The HPA Saga Part Three
Motives, technology and individuals are revealed, and the galaxy is plunged into a secret war.

Dancing with Angels and Demons: The HPA Saga Part Four
Betrayal and counterbetrayal as the HPA nears completion...

Princes and Pirates: The HPA Saga Part Five
Emotions and cultures clash as the playes approach their final places...

Achenar Bound: The HPA Saga Part Six
The pieces of the jigsaw come together as the Azure Sunset arrives in the Achenar system.

Endgames: The HPA Saga Part Seven
The Azure Sunset is over Capitol, the HPA is primed and everyone is at each other's throats. The last installment of the saga.

Thanks to Frantic, Dylan and everyone for letting me compile it.
