Enjoy this light-hearted, tongue in cheek Science Fiction story,
for Young Adults and Adults. Even though Daisy Weal herself does
not appear in this story, it is still part of the series, falling
between Daisy Weal and the Last Crenian , and The Star Queen , and
is the fifth book in the series. Two hundred years had passed since
the disappearance of Daisy Weal, and the flagship of the Star
Fleet, HMSS The Daisy Weal , named in memory of her, was heading
towards the desolate planet of Cren to deliver an archaeological
and survey team. When passing through a binary system, an accident
happened, and a beam of energy from an unknown source penetrated
the ship killing all passengers and crew instantly. The ship s
semi-sentient bio-processor took evasive action, and escaping on
emergency thrust, it inadvertently twisted space and performed an
unintended, and previously thought impossible, hyper jump.
