Podkayne of Mars

About the Book

A classic tale from the Grandmaster of Science Fiction.

Because her uncle is the Ambassador from Mars to the Three Planets Conference, which makes him – and his niece and nephew – potential targets for any radicals looking to sabotage the negotiations between three worlds.
