Synopsis ~
Wiser and richer space traders turned down this
cosmic pig-in-a-poke, but the crew of the Solar Queen couldn’t afford anything more
secure. And their trip to Linbo to see what they had got proved that the newly
discovered world lived up to its ominus name in every way! The free-traders of
the Solar Queen win exclusive rights to all tradable goods discovered on the
planet Limbo. The crew arrives to find the planet's surface charred, signs of
life sparse. Worse yet, a strange pulse emanating from the planet itself may
keep the Queen from lifting off. The traders find a secret valley with life,
but others may still lurk in rocky caves below. The traders must solve the
mysteries of Limbo if they hope to escape the planet, let alone come away with
some saleable goods.
