    About this ebook

    In "Battle-Starfish Galactic," Houston had a problem. When a lunar war escalated over starfish fishing rights in the Sea of Tranquility, an emissary was procured from Neptune.

    In "Neither Asteroids, Nor Shooting stars," finds unrequited love due to a bungled routing code on a letter proposing marriage. The ecru-skinned dazzling beauty, Astra-Zee received a letter intended for someone else.

    What sweet treat is made from cream imported from the Taurus system cows? Travel in a modest rocketship called the Parallax to find the answer. But, expect a few bumps along the way in "Use Caution! Slow Down! Bump!."

    Can information about Mars found in a pamphlet on Saturn be trusted? The answer is found in "Eat Your Vegetable" or is it?

    Two children born, one on earth, one on Pluto. What do they have in common? "Age--It's Relative" contains the account.

    A colony of writers from Saturn emigrated to the Sun where inspiration flowed. A leading citizen, Stella, wrote poetry in her solarium. But then one overcast day a solar flare caused a disturbance.
