About this ebook
"This is an engrossing novel by one of the genre's most accomplished storytellers." --Publishers Weekly
All the universe is a stage...and Sparky Valentine is its itinerant thespian. He brings Shakespeare--a version of it anyway--to the outer reaches of Earth's solar system. Sparky can transform himself from young to old, fat to thin, even male to female, by altering magnetic implants beneath his skin. Indispensible hardware for a career actor--and an interstellar con man wanted for murder...

Weakest of the series. Too much Peter Pan, with a heavy dose of Wesley Crusher. But it's a good book once you get past the first 2/3.
