Publisher's blurb: The Sultan of Quceroos is in need of a new wife. His old ones are getting boring. A sultan can never have too many wives. Fortunately the Acme Mail Order Bride company has plenty of them for sale. But they do not deliver. The legal liabilities involved in this require a third party be used for pick up. A representative of the Sultan offers a substantial fee to the travelers if they can pick up the bride to be and transport her about fifteen parsec.
