Short description

The android engineer of the Starship Victory gets an invitation to a card tournament on the famous Earth-Vegas. Normally he'd ignore such spam, except that the grand prize is his brother's brain. The only problem is that Golem's never heard of this card game before. Meanwhile, the Victory herself gets caught up in a race against a starship with an experimental engine.

Extended description

When Engineering Chief Golem receives a message from an old friend, telling him about a card tournament on Earth-11, he sets off. Surrounded by the decadence of Earth-Vegas, as it's better known, Golem doesn't have much time to teach himself how to play this card game, he just might have to find some other way to get his manipulator servos on the big prize: a computer core from another android in his product line. And as if that wasn't bad enough a group of pirates from the Asimov Network arrive intend on taking his brother's brain for themselves.
The Victory keeps itself busy as well, when it gets an invitation from the Science Ship Stephen Hawking to help test it's experimental engines.
