Reviews"It is candid yet balanced, insightful about his work and revelatory about his theater. It lays bare the tension between Robbins the person and Robbins the artist."--Los Angeles Times, "To read Ms. Jowitt's extraordinarily revealing book is to be in the presence of Jerome Robbins."-- Edward Villella, "Jowitt's fascinating biography of the innovative director of Broadway musicals and choreographer of masterpieces for the New York City Ballet...trenchantly reveal[s] Robbins's relationship with his own beliefs....Compelling."--The New York Times Book Review(front page)

Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisIn a few hours' time, diplomacy is going to fail the wealthy planet of Kostroma. Daniel Leary, Adele Mundy, and the scratch crew that they have gathered, are just possibly enough to stand in the way of a powerful invasion fleet. They have nothing on their side but one another., Theirs is a friendship forged in hell . . . DANIEL LEARY is a lieutenant in the republic of Cinnabar Navy with no money and no prospects since he quarrelled with his ruthless, politically influential father. ADELE MUNDY is a scholar with no money and prospects since her family was massacred for conspiring against the Cinnabar government. KOSTROMA is a wealthy planet which depends on diplomacy to stay independent in a galaxy whose two great powers, Cinnabar and Alliance, battle for supremacy. In a few hours, diplomacy is going to fail Kostroma. Daniel, Adele, and the scratch crew they gather aren't much to stand in the way of a powerful invasion fleet; but just possibly they're enough. They have nothing on their side but each other - and heaven help whatever tries to stand in their way!
