Prisoner's Hope

Prisoner's Hope

"Prisoner's Hope" is a 1995 science fiction novel by David Feintuch and is the third book in the Seafort Saga. It is the sequel to Challenger's Hope and is followed by Fisherman's Hope.

Captain Nicholas Seafort is made liaison to the plantation owners of the lush colony planet, Hope Nation while recuperating from injuries sustained earlier. However, the UN space fleet retreats Earthward after tangling with the space threat discovered by Capt. Seafort in his first voyage on the Hibernia. At this moment, with authoritative presence weakened, the colonists mount a rebellion. His wife and child, having died, the space hero must avert the rebellion and consolidate the colonists against the space invaders. To do so, he must turn his back on his oath to the UN Navy and commit high treason.
