Title: Hero of the galaxy
Description: "John Dibretto is majoring in ballet, much to the disappointment of his NFL father, but when his mother's research accidentally snags an alien named Asirald from space and badly injures him, he asks John to go to the starship Imperium and to take his place. John must pretend to be Asirald, the brave and dashing Hero of the Osa Baragun, to visit other civilizations and to rally them against an enemy that threatens their galaxy. He catches the attention of the dangerous Lady Inyaiel, the beautiful but superficial Enora, and the shy and frightened slave Ceyile. He also finds himself the prime suspect in a murder with a band of ravening Kharakh determined to kill him."--Back cover.
