Stardrifter is a novel by Dale Aycock published in 1981.
Stardrifter is a novel in which the owner of a interstellar trading company gets caught up in a conspiracy to rule the galaxy.[1]
Greg Costikyan reviewed Star Drifter in Ares Magazine #10 and commented that "The importance is not the plot, which is typical space opera, but Aycock's ability to flesh out characters despite slam-bang action and to turn a pretty phrase or two. Star Drifter is fun reading."[1]
