| Plot Summary of Over the Edge |
|---|
"Reeser Peland, marsupial captain of the Aquillion, has been spied on through a stone! The beautiful Chrysoliene, prized by Marsupian collectors, is found exclusively on the planet Minan. Only Royal Bloom, a rare herb, can activate its secret viewing capabilities and that very herb has been offered to Reeser, apparently to bring him to Minan...but why?
The Minans, who hid in their veils and flowing robes, may not be what they claim--just another race of Marsupians. Their true biological identities has been a secret for centuries, protected by tradition, the veils and by the law. "
Marilyn W. Lathrop, Resident Scholar
