Book description
Visit Earth! The exciting birthplace of man!
Now, courtesy of Starways, Inc., you can take your vacation anywhere
. . . literally anywhere. Starting from the holiday planet of
Paradiso, eager tourists can tavel to Mars, Venus, or more exotic
planets scattered across the stars.
But curiously, there's one trip that Starways seems to discourage
people from taking. And naturally that's the one Ram Burrell is most
interested in: a trip to Earth.
Once Burrell finagles a ticket for the journey, he discovers why
Earth is the least-visited planet in the galaxy . . . and why Starways
aims to keep it that way.
