<div> <p>"If you want a swashbuckling story of the spaceways, with romance and humour, this is it..&amp;#160; Jale is the charismatic captain of the space hearse<i>Rigor Mortis</i>, ably assisted by his first mate who is an android version of Sherlock Holmes.&amp;#160; This surrealistic pair have, however, a very practical job: find who is decimating the Milky Way with the dread disease CLAG.&amp;#160; This kills by simply exploding its victims.&amp;#160; The plot curdles when our two heroes discover a pretty stowaway, Pippin, who forsakes her beloved garden to go careening across the Galaxy with Jale.&amp;#160; This reviewer likes to be entertained, and the book certainly does that.&amp;#160; The storyline is fast-paced and funny, but occasionally the characters cast psychological shadows on it from their troubles pasts.&amp;#160; Nevertheless, it is hard not to identify with Jale, Sherlock and Pippin as they struggle against massive odds to protect the people of the Milky Way from the ravages of the CLAG disease.&amp;#160; Better is that you get a drink and ride along in the<i>Rigor Mortis</i>as it gambles and gambols among the galaxies.." -Isaac Asinine<i>(Times of Trantor)</i></p> </div>
