Three days out from the offices of Interstellar Voice, Grannie Annie leads her crew across the Baldric, a desert of flagpole trees under the flaming disc of Jupiter.

Carl Jacobi's 1945 story reunites the indomitable old lady adventurer Grannie Annie and her sidekicks for another rollicking space-opera mystery. Colorful, fun, fast-moving golden-age pulp. Read it for another delightful expedition with pulp SF's most formidable grandmother.
