This highly original take on the space opera genre begins when the mysterious Dr. Z enlists three very different heroes to search for the fabled Twelve Gems of Power: the muscle-bound alien Furz, the beautiful sabre-wielding Venus and Dogstar - a canine technician. The three begin their picaresque journey through space, meeting a whole host of unusual characters, and encountering strange and perilous situations along the way. But the biggest question remains: what is the secret of their mysterious benefactor? In this fast, witty story, nothing is quite as it seems.
