The Isis Pedlar
When the devious Michael Joseph Flynn and his daughter, Moira, land on the distant planet Isis, the members of the simple agricultural community find him irresistible. His magic fire-stone, his strangely delicious ambrosia, and the Forever Machine lure them into worshipping him. Only Moira can unmask this smooth-talking pedlar for the charlatan that he is. But can she do it in time to save Isis?
Monica Hughes's brilliant Isis trilogy is a classic of science fiction, creating a world that is enthralling, dangerous, and irresistible.
