“Acorna's office in the Dehoney facility on Maganos Moon Base was far too full for her comfort, and the meeting had been going on so long that she was developing an alluring fantasy about escaping the comfort of the base for the freedom of a good planetside gallop-any planet, anywhere, just so it offered her clean firm earth to run on and a horizon very far away.”
Space heroine Acorna battles extortionists who changed a planet's weather when its inhabitants refused their demands. The result has been mass starvation. A sequel to Acorna: The Unicorn Girl.
