Synopsis
They called the robomaid "Clockwork Kitty" until she informed them of her right name. She was a triumph of Japan's far future robotics industry and she was a present to John Grimes as he set out aboard Sister Sue for a voyage to the planet called New Salem. New Salem was a colony of blue-nosed religious fanatics and Grimes knew it meant trouble. For in addition to his sexy-looking robot he had Shirl and Darleen aboard, two wild ones of kangaroo ancestry, sure to be problems. And trouble came, not merely from the fire-wielding bigots but from Grimes' old enemy, Drongo Kane. (from the back cover of the DAW Books first American edition)
