Jack Voysey

Overview

Born in 3114 on Gerege, Galaxy 1, John "Jack" Voysey is the protagonist of Justice for Mrs Combs.

Early life

Voysey's mother abandoned the family when he was a child; his father, a GalCop policeman, was killed in a docking-bay gunfight when he was in his teens. He joined the GalCop police himself, working as a customs officer on a Coriolis station in the Rizala system until a drinking problem led to him being transferred and retrained as a Viper pilot. In 3138 he inherited a Gecko from his aunt, and left the force to become an escort for hire ("the non-salacious kind"). He subsequently acquired a private investigator's licence. Prior to the events of Justice for Mrs Combs, he amassed a total of nine kills, making him Mostly Harmless.

Character

Voysey is a man of some intelligence, but with a tendency towards risk-taking and violence. He is not without compassion, however. He enjoys films and books, and has a particular passion for music.

Coming attractions

Stories dealing with Voysey's military career are planned for the future (though these are unlikely to appear for some time).
