Half a block from the shopping center, a line of rollicking spacers closes in around Trigger Argee, and in an instant she is snatched off the sidewalk and into the mystery of her life.

James H. Schmitz's 1979 novel (originally 'A Tale of Two Clocks') launches the adventures of his resourceful heroine Trigger Argee. Fast, clever, engaging space opera. Read it for a rousing tale of intrigue and derring-do starring one of SF's most capable female leads.
