The Forbidden Wish

"

Today, each of you will make a decision,_ Caine said. __o go with Sam, or to stay here. I won__ try to stop anyone, and I won__ hold it against anyone._ He placed his hand over his heart. __or those who choose to stay, let me be very clear: I will be in charge. Not as a mayor, but as a king. My word will be law. My decisions will be final.__hat caused some murmuring, most of it unhappy.__ut I__l also do everything I can to leave each of you alone.

A Court of Thorns and Roses

"

The last week hadn__ been any better, come to think of it. On Monday they arrived at Gorda, just to find that the cargo of electronics he was to ship to Beowulf had been taken by another freighter for a lower fee. It took him until Wednesday before he found another cargo _ which had to reach Earth by Saturday. The last straw was when his crew mutinied a day out of the Hermes system and demanded a pay increase. The union tended to call that sort of thing __ollective bargaining_, not actually mutiny, but hey _ the results are the same. He tended to favor the term __iracy_, but this wasn__ the high seas and out here, there were real pirates to worry about. His former crew had also wanted more time off and a better cook _ at least one who knew how which end of a frying pan to hold. He was unable to comply, and so was forced to stop at Beowulf anyway. That was the last time he saw them. Fortunately for him, Weaver, Fuller and Jang opted to stay with him. Whether it was out of loyalty, or perhaps just convenience, he never knew.
