| Summary: | "Somewhere out there among the stars is a very frightened eight-year-old girl named Penelope. The Democracy wants her dead. Three-Fisted Ollie and Cemetery Smith want her dead. The military wants her dead. Jimmy the Spike wants her dead. A thousand bounty hunters want her dead. Gamblers and pirates like King Tout and the Yankee Clipper want her dead. The populations of entire alien worlds want her dead." "Her only defenders are the ageless Forever Kid, who is tired of living and seeks death with a vengeance, and a diminutive thief known only as the Mouse." "Not very good odds. Penelope has only one thing in her favor: although she doesn't know it, she just might be the most powerful and dangerous human being who has ever lived."--Page 4 of cover. |
