Silent Death: Rookie Rules

THE dumbed-down version of Silent Death for the next generation! From the back of the box: Hawk eyed his instruments as his squadron sped towards the marauders. "Get your Talon back into formation, Parker." "I saw something in the asteroid field, going to confirm." "Negative, Parker, back in line." " Almost there . . ." Across the void Hawk saw the flare of thrusters ignite as his board lit up. The bogie was a Nighthawk. " Abort Parker! Abort!" The massive guns of the Nighthawk flashed across the asteroid field like a small sun and Parker's ship vanished in silent fury. Some rookies never live to learn.
