Sell the book ... and say goodbye to horse muck forever! Loss Leader: After delays and last-minute setbacks, the first colony ship leaves planet Earth for a distant star. Join the crew as they discover all is not as it seems... Fizz!: Earth's transit system has been revolutionised by a network of teleporters. Now, instead of being afraid to fly, most people are afraid to teleport.
