+ Want to read

Meet Halo Jones. She wasn't anyone special. She wasn't brave, or clever, or strong. She was just somebody who had to get out ... first step in a cosmic adventure that takes Halo to the far ends of the galaxy, through war and peace, trial, despair and triumph. But as she said: Anybody could have done it. Moore's epic tale of one woman's search for her place in a galaxy out of control. Beautifully illustrated by Ian Gibson, this is the ultimate sci-fi opus. Don't dare miss it!
