It’s Sarah Penworthy’s sixteenth birthday! The sun is shining, the school bell is ringing, she’s got a birthday party to prepare and there’s that boy she really wants to ask out on a date... But all of Sarah’s plans are shattered when a strange silver ball comes crashing through her bedroom window. The ball tells her his name is Robot Holmes, that he’s come from a starship orbiting planet Earth, and that he’s on a mission to find Sarah and take her away with him. In a flash Sarah is beamed aboard the starship Hound of Love, and as she is introduced to the ship’s robot crew, she quickly realises the unbelievable truth: she has been abducted by aliens! The Hound of Love’s engines are fired to maximum, and so begins an incredible journey across the stars– a journey which will change Sarah’s life forever. For faraway on an alien world, at the heart of a great intergalactic civilisation, an old Emperor lies dying, and a throne stands empty. In the final seconds of his life, using all that remains of his strength, the Emperor tears off his life-support mask and whispers the name of the one, the one being in all the universe, who must follow him. The name he whispers is “Sarah Penworthy...” "Sarah: The Empress of the Galaxy" mixes wit, imagination and originality to create a fast-paced and exciting outer space adventure story, which will appeal to science fiction readers of all ages.
