Publisher's Synopsis
On a nowhere asteroid on the far rim of the galaxy,
two young alien girls-Rox and Zam-spend their days tearing apart and repairing
clunkers in a spaceship junkyard. These aspiring gearheads yearn for the chance
to test their skills on something besides rusted old rockets and broken-down
planet-hoppers. Their big chance finally comes when the captain of a mysterious
ship called the Quasar Torrent enlists the kids for some repair work. But what
initially looks like a golden opportunity quickly becomes a nightmare when the
young friends find they've been kidnapped by what turns out to be a band of
space pirates! Rox and Zam find themselves swept up in the astro-bucaneers'
vendetta against a huge intergalactic corporation that's forced this motley band
of working stiffs from across space into a life of crime. Now the girls must
chose: do they want the comforts of home and family, or the glamorous adventure
of a lifetime-to be part of a crew of colorful misfits intent on plunder,
revenge, and excitement? Their lives, friendship . . . and maybe even the fate
of a galaxy . . . hangs in the balance!
