SPOILER
I read that last night and laughed out loud.  The Chums are great comic
relief, especially Darby and Miles.  I love that they have to respond to
the distress signal despite a conflict with their prime directives.  A
classic Star Trek plot.

I feel a bit cheated though.  What happened with the Legion of Gnomes,
and Chthonica, Princess of Plutonia?!  I want my copy of _The Chums of
Chance in the Bowels of the Earth_!
