Books with title Spacebread

SPACEBREAD is a large white cat, intelligent and daring, known throughout the galaxy as a buccaneering adventuress. She has been everywhere, seen everything. And she does not tolerate theft of her possessions or the murder of her friends. When an anonymous thug steals her crystal belt buckle and murders a friend, then, her honor demands that she pursue—to the distant planet Ralph. On her first foray into the capital city of Ralph, Spacebread encounters the alien figlet, Klimmet BarKloof, who is being sold at a slave market. She saves him from a ravenous Gnorlff (who loves to feast on figlets), and BarKloof insists on being her slave as a result. After all, she paid good money. Their quest for the stolen belt buckle leads them to the sinister Regent, now ruling part of Ralph, VolVarnix, whom Spacebread recognizes as an old enemy, Basemore the Basilisk, in disguise. He falsely accuses Spacebread of murder, and she and the figlet must flee, pursued by Basemore's soldiers. With the aid of Sonto, a night-black cat and spy, and Lucidan, a blind peasant woman with the gift of star-sight, they make their way north, where they discover that Spacebread's mundane buckle is the key to Basemore's plot to enslave all of Ralph. All that stands in his way are the four adventurers, an irascible dragon and a tribe of metallic butterflies. Together they must prevent Basemore's dastardly conquest and recover Spacebread's stolen buckle and her honor.
