Aerita of the light country
by Ray Cummings
Years passed, and what Tama, the princess of Mercury, did became the subject of legend for the women of the Bright Country. But now tyranny threatens the winged girls of the first planet again, and Aerita, a fearless young woman inspired by Tama's stories, finds Guy Palisse's legendary space car and explodes to Earth in search of help. There he finds himself a prisoner in a wandering manager, is captured, and presented to the public as a strange creature from South America. Alan Grant then steps into the Tauride side exhibition, where Aerita is held. This is Cummings' latest novel about the winged women of Mercury.
