Jane Gullivar is the star of the asteroid belt's best and only cabaret club. Every night she thrills crowds of aliens with her tales of danger, brouhaha, and strange adventures on other worlds. But the man from Venus didn’t come for cocktails and stand-up. He came to nab himself a heroine to save his queen and her priestesses.
A ruthless robot has taken up residence in the most sacred temple on Venus, and is razing the landscape for kilometres around. According to the planet’s ancient codes, all males are forbidden to enter that holy ground on pain of death. So the Venusian is searching for the solar system's greatest warrior-woman, to dismantle the murderous machine.
Nobody informed him that Jane Gullivar was only telling stories.
Or that she was actually a man in a frock.
Jane has until sunrise to defeat the robot, or she'll have no way to escape from the hottest planet this side of Mercury. And she'll have to do it without losing her wig or coming untucked in the process.
