Gloria VanDeen s special brand of smarts, sexiness, and raw courage has won her a promotion within the Department of Extraterrestrial Affairs. For her first assignment, she s been dispatched to the planet Sylvania on a voter registration drive. But Gloria knows the real score.

Once Gloria democratizes the planet, her ex-husband, the Emperor himself, plans to pillage it for Fergusite the priceless emerald crystals that have lured boomers for light-years.
With mining operations set to begin, Sylvania s beleaguered populace are looking to Gloria to save their world. Of course, countermanding the Emperor s wishes is treason to the highest degree. With the eyes of the galaxy on her, it s up to Gloria to choose between saving her neck and preventing a boomerang that could destroy the Empire forever. "
