Excerpt:

On the fringes of the galaxy, nearly 8,000 parsecs from Galactic Center, a single-engine, single-occupant spacecraft could be seen approaching a small blue and white planet. The spacecraft was a Glexo Nebula sports sedan with an overhead fusion injection engine, power braking, power steering, a quadraphonic Compact Crystal (CC) music system, 53,000 light years on the meter and a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview monitor. The planet was a small, oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere, not terribly impressive bit of space debris that had cooled, congealed, and spawned a dominant intelligent life form that liked to dance, dance, dance the night away.

READ MORE

The driver of the little spaceship was breaking every galactic law on the books concerning this particular small blue planet. It was absolutely forbidden to visit this planet or even its solar system. The only way to get at all close to it was to take a cruise ship that skimmed the planet’s solar system, giving the cruise takers a vicarious thrill, allowing them to go home and tell their grandchildren that they had been within less than a light year of the forbidden planet called Earth.
