A boy haunted by memories of his dead mother’s terror, Jaro’s life is directed by an inner voice he can’t account for…until he returns to Kammerwelt, described in The Handbook of the Planets as the fourth world in the entourage of Robert Palmer’s Star, drifting in a far-flung sector of the galaxy known as the Dragon’s Maw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen Myron Tany, in thrall to his zany aunt Dame Hester Lajoie, sets off in her space yacht to find a faraway fountain of youth. The captain flatters Hester agreeably, but when Myron points out that the man is a swindler, he is marooned on an inhospitable planet with barely his passage home. Thus he is given the perfect opportunity to live out his childhood fantasies of intergalactic adventure, alien encounters and exotic romance. Or starve to death. Luckily, the tramp cargo vessel Glicca is just then in need of a supercargo, and Myron is it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150856241310,"sku":"HPC-9780006482109","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780006482109.jpg?v=1780273396","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780006482109","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
