Description: "Follow Louella Parsons, a profesional, world-class sailor, as she competes - and faces near disaster - in Le Gran Venee, Earth's premier race around the world. Surviving that, she finds herself testing her sailing prowess deep in Jupiter's atmosphere. The wine-red seas of Jupiter make the brutal conditions she faced in the Southern Ocean seem trivial. Louella and her partner then face a new challenge --to sail across the frigid plains in the thin-to-nonexistent Martian atmosphere beneath a cloud of ultra-thin fabric. But is a sailing race, there is nothing Louella will not do for her team to cross the finish line. She is a sailor."--Cover.
