THE END
Certain words used by George St. George are part of the backwoods

* Describe flilox, the new threat to Mars
* Reveal the thrilling secret of the pirates' asteroid
Here's just a sample of action from the next Starman book, JOURNEY TO
THE TENTH PLANET:
The long journey was coming to an end. Pluto was about three and a half
billion miles from Earth, and the tenth planet was more than two
billion miles farther than that-but coming closer. Its figure-eight
orbit around the brown dwarf star Nemesis made it unique in the Solar
System.
Now the Starventure was close enough that the tenth planet could be
seen with the unaided eye. Everyone aboard was positioned at a window
in the great cabin just behind the pilot's console to view the
bi-stellar wanderer.
For moments no one said anything.
