Interesting space yarn about explorers who range the solar system to bring back the most interesting beasts for Earth zoos. No problems - until they encounter an enormous lizard-like creature that breathes flaming acid!

"The greatest woman explorer in the solar system embarks on her strangest quest - and makes the most hazardous journey in the history of rocketry!"
