Have space suit-- will travel

First prize in the Skyway Soap slogan contest was an all-expenses-paid trip to the moon. The consolation prize was an authentic space suit, and when scientifically minded high school senior Kip Russell won it, he knew for certain he would use it one day to make a sojourn of his own to the stars. But 'one day' comes sooner than he thinks when he tries the suit on in his backyard--and finds himself worlds away, a prisoner aboard a space pirate's ship. The whole thing seems like a bad dream until he discovers he's not the only prisoner on board. Kip--along with the daughter of a world-renowned scientist and a beautiful creature from another planet--has been kidnapped by a monstrous extraterrestrial, and they are heading straight for what could be Kip's final destination.

  • "Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain, is dangerous to know. No respectable woman would have anything to do with him, and he wants nothing to do with respectable women. He's determined to keep doing what he does best-- sin and sin again-- and all's going well until the day a shop door opens and she walks in. Jessica Trent is a young woman determined to drag her imbecile brother off the road to ruin, no matter what. If saving him-- and her family and future-- means taking on the devil himself, she won't back down. The trouble is, the devil in question is so shockingly irresistible that the person who needs saving most is Jessica herself."@en
