The Roaring 20's: Hot jazz, icy cocktails, dancing 'til dawn...Not really the best time to swear off revelry and the company of women, but the king of Navarre and his companions have done just that. When the Princess of France and her ladies arrive at the king's estate, romance, intrigue and lots of sneaking around begins!
Eight other worlds share our solar system, each one stranger andmore interesting than the last. Travel from the surface of the sun all the wayto the icy realm of comets. Volcanos the size of France, storms bigger than theEarth, and clouds that rain acid are just some of the incredible things todiscover on worlds both big and small as you make your journey through theSolar System.
