Description

A vintage story in the Grandmaster of Science-Fiction. Podkayne Fries, born and raised on Mars, has only one goal: to make her wings like a starship pilot and climb through the ranks to order heavy-space explorations. The chance to visit aboard the Tricorn- on an interstellar trip to Earth and Venus in the organization of her diplomat dad-is just a fantasy become a reality. Poddy's concept of diplomacy is maintaining the peace with her difficult sibling, Clark, but she's about to understand some things about peace and conflict.
