Jag letar efter namnet på boken om ung man som flyger ett interstellärt lastfartyg ensam. Hans farbror hade förprogrammerat skeppets dator för att ställa frågor och ge anvisningar innan han dör.
Pojkens familj var dödad av pirater.
Jag kom över boken Dragon and Soldier , boka två i Timothy Zahns Dragonback-serie. Detta ledde mig till den första boken i serien; Dragon and Thief
Jack Morgan is a fourteen-year-old boy, raised by his adoptive uncle, Virgil Morgan, as a professional thief and confidence artist but presently interested in reform. Throughout the first book, he lives aboard the starship Essenay, protected by an artificial intelligence mimicking his uncle.
Virgil Morgan, the adoptive uncle of Jack, is a professional thief and confidence artist, notorious throughout the Orion Arm, and therefore sought as an ally by the story's antagonists; but has died before the events of the initial book, and is represented largely in Jack's memories. Because his death is kept secret by Jack, he is believed alive by supporting characters until the final book.
I sammanfattningen av tredje boken (Dragon and Slave) och fourth book (Dragon and Herdsman) , det nämns att Jack förlorade sina föräldrar när han var tre. Följande länk till förhandsgranskningen av Google Böcker i den slutliga boken ( Dragon and Liberator ) har en inspelning av farbror Virgil som förklarar det
Jack's parents were murdered and Uncle Virgil took Jack into his custody. Virgil told Jack his parents died in a mining accident. Virgil's explanation as to how he found the ship is omitted from the preview, but they were killed on the ship and Jack was left alive. Virgil says "A beautiful Judge-Paladin ship, loaded to the intakes with all the finest equipment money can buy" which leads me to believe the ship was attacked by pirates before Virgil came across the ship.
Jack Morgan is symbiotically linked with a dragon. Belonging to the warrior K’da species of dragons, this type of dragon can only survive six hours without a human host. Jack is chosen by Draycos 30s after he is the only survivor of three ships that have destroyed scouting for refugees, and they combine to make an instant team. Jack is a fourteen year old reformed con man, and now he has a partner in Draycos, who literally lives on his back. Draycos is sentient and two dimensional, while Jack certainly isn’t. Raised by his Uncle Virgil, Jack was taught to follow in his foot steps as a con man and a thief. Before his Uncle Virgil died, he loaded parts of his personality and thoughts into the computer of the ship, and is thus with Jack in some ways.
Merchanters Luck av C. J. Cherryh har alla de plotelement du nämner.
The boy's family had been killed by pirates.
Endast tre personer överlever Mazianni-attacken på ett familjehandlare: Sandy, den unge huvudpersonen och två av sina farbröder.
young man flying an interstellar cargo ship alone.
Efter att de två vuxna dödats (en efter en rymdolycka, den andra i en kamp), flyger Sandy fartyget ensam eller med hjälp av hyrd hjälp, den tidigare är farlig och olaglig.
De inspelade tipsen och varningarna från datorn var en gång nödvändig för att Sandy skulle kunna flyga skeppet, men vid tidpunkten för berättelsen är det moraliska stödet och den psykologiska lättnad att höra sin farbrors röst viktigare.His uncle had pre-programmed the ship's computer to ask questions and give directions before dying.
