SYNOPSIS
Earth: 2074. A beautiful superbeing,
PENTAN, is genetically engineered and enslaved by Kuriyama Enterprises
as a corporate assassin and covert agent. She is assigned to intercept
information on the find of the century: the location of an abandoned alien
spacecraft. The secrets contained by a similar alien ship that was discovered
years earlier made its finders wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.
Pentan outwits TAKASHI KURIYAMA and his enforcer
JOHN MOESBY,who created and enslaved her and steals the information.
With the aid of freelance space-jockey HAROLD BRICKMAN, and his sleek
commercial space tug/freighter, The Rising Moon, they manage to fight
off Kuriyama's corporate troops, and flee to the planet of Inisfree.
There they seek the aid of a genetic scientist, ROBERT THORTON, the
man who created her. He is the only one who can disarm a tiny time bomb Kuriyama
had implanted in her head (to insure her loyalty).
Pursued by Kuriyama's massive star cruiser, the
Promethian, with its complement of deadly Tulwar fighter craft,
Pentan and Brickman narrowly evade capture, and continue their flight to
Elysium, site of the abandoned Tesseran space craft. Along
the way, they form a bond that leads to love, an emotion Pentan was trained
to emulate, not experience.
In a fiery climactic space battle, Pentan tries to turn
the tables on her master and his formidible space force. She fights to fulfill
her fondest dream: to be a normal and free human being!
