brief_description
Years ago, Nolly Stennis had been a promising baritone. On the threshold of a great career with Narabedla Ltd., illness ruined his voice. Then a cellist friend received an offer from Narabedla, only to disappear shortly thereafter. When Nolly sets out to investigate, he finds intergalatic intrigue beyond imagination. Now Narabedla is determined to keep him quiet by making his greatest dreams come true.
