About Ride the star winds

"Number four in the collected adventures of the legendary John Grimes of the Galactic Rim series, including four novels:* The Anarch Lords: John Grimes' short career as a somewhat benevolent space pirate is over, but he has sunk even lower, becoming a politician.

Another thing he hadn't expected was accusations of witchcraft being taken seriously. * Catch the Star Winds: An experimental sailing ship of space was intended to exceed the speed of light. Then strange things happened involving time itself, and the crew wasn't sure they would ever see home, or their home time, again. Plus six interrelated short stories starring the indefatigable John Grimes, rounding out a large volume of space adventure with a dash of humor, and a likable hero who always gamely manages to muddle through"--
