The Pirates of Ersatz
by Murray Leinster
Hero Bran Hoddan wants nothing more for himself to escape the stigma of criminal activity that has long eclipsed his clan. His plans for the future include a permanent job and a full-fledged marriage. However, unforeseen circumstances intervened, and suddenly Hoddan found himself being persecuted by a cruel group of primitive humans. In desperation, he turns to his own local trade – piracy – to free himself.
