Lurulu

<p>Myron Tany rebellious scion of a wealthy family tours the Galaxy on a very questionable interstellar freighter in search of his lurulu.</p> <p>Against the backdrop of the Gaean Reach first the story of Jaro Fath unfolds: from wildling orphan to spaceship captain a tale of adventure and discovery wittily told. A boy haunted by memories of his dead mother’s terror Jaro’s life is directed by an inner voice he can’t account for…until he returns to Kammerwelt described in The Handbook of the Planets as the fourth world in the entourage of Robert Palmer’s Star drifting in a far-flung sector of the galaxy known as the Dragon’s Maw.</p> <p>Then Myron Tany in thrall to his zany aunt Dame Hester Lajoie sets off in her space yacht to find a faraway fountain of youth. The captain flatters Hester agreeably but when Myron points out that the man is a swindler he is marooned on an inhospitable planet with barely his passage home. Thus he is given the perfect opportunity to live out his childhood fantasies of intergalactic adventure alien encounters and exotic romance. Or starve to death. Luckily the tramp cargo vessel Glicca is just then in need of a supercargo and Myron is it.</p>
