By knitting it.All is going well. But once the corporate interests that were plotting to seize her way station realize what she's up to, they set out to stop her by any means fair or foul.Mostly foul. Her crew is suborned, murder attempts are launched, financial plots are set underway. What's an old lady to do?Apply a long lifetime's sagacity and resourcefulness, that's what. Guided always by her knowledge that revenge is a dish best served old.Written by the Hugo and Nebula award winning author of "The Trouble With Tribbles," The War Against the Chtorr series, "The Man Who Folded Himself," and "The Martian Child."
