The Complete Ballad of Halo Jones

"Halo Jones isn't anyone special. She isn't brave, or clever, or strong. She is just somebody who has to break the cycle of tedium that passes for her life. But escaping the Hoop, Manhattan Island's land of mindless leisure, is just her first step in a cosmic adventure that takes Halo to the far ends of the galaxy, through war and peace, trial, despair and triumph. Though, as she says, "Anybody could have done it.""--Jacket.
