    THE FATE OF THE MYSTERIOUS PIRATE QUEEN

    Emeraldas navigates the sea of stars—and swears to do so until the flame of her life is extinguished. Aboard her ship, the Queen Emeraldas, she sails in search of a certain object, and along the way encounters the passions and tragedies of those who dare brave the infinite reaches of space. Among them, Hiroshi Umino, the Earth boy who escaped his home planet to follow his dreams, has remained in Emeraldas’ mind—and it seems fate will have them meet again…
