O'Hara stood stunned for a moment, then he slapped Sticks on the arm and repeated the gesture on the accountant's arm. "Name? Your bet I have a name. It's to be called The City of Baraboo." "What a curious name? Does it have a meaning?" O'Hara slapped the accountant on the back. "I'll say it does! Baraboo, Wisconsin, is where the Big One was born. Big Bertha - Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Combined Shows - the biggest circus the Earth ever saw. And when the City of Baraboo takes to the star road, it will have a show half again as big as RB&BB!" In 2142 circus is a dying art, and the last show on Earth has ground to a halt on the outskirts of Ottawa. But John J. O'Hara isn't ready to give up, and decides to take his circus off world to play other planets. The circus fixer is a trickster who gets them out of many scrapes as the troup endeavours to make a profit and foil the machinations of a businessman with a grudge against the circus. Lots of fun! no reviews | add a review
