Book 7.3
Benny is on holiday. Dealing with sand, sea, and sunshine. Oh, and intrusive reality TV camera crews. Adrian and Bev are on a secret mission, trying to be subtle and undercover. Yeah, that'll work. Irving Braxiatel is on Earth, helping an old friend solve a political problem with his usual tact and diplomacy. And linking all of these little sojourns is one Jason Peter Kane. He's on trial for his life, accused of stealing the legendary Purpura Pawn--and somehow everyone else has to try and find a way to help him. But is someone out to stop them doing so, no matter what the cost?
Acting on an abstruse tip-off from the reknowned paraphysiologist Dr Rupert Gilhooly, Bernice Summerfield has found herself on a probe-ship heading deep into the Problematic Heart of the galaxy--not knowing what, or quite who, she might find. What she finds is Station Control. A place that exists, simultaniously, in 417 dimensions, a brawling, souk-like Nexus between every world that can, or has, or ever will be. And one of those dimensions is Hell. Bernice knows nothing of the rivalries and power-plays going on here. So she blunders right into them and makes a complete hash of everything, natch.
