Marco Polo and The Sleeping Beauty
by Avram Davidson and Grania Davis
Your Freedom For A Princess. Ten years in the service of Kublai
Khan... Marco, Niccolo, and Maffeo Polo have seen magic and miracles,
and accumulated riches beyond dreaming. But now all they want is to
return to their beloved Venice. Alas -- as the only Westerners in the
glittering Mongol court, they are high favorites with the Khan of
Khans. And before he will allow them to leave, they must undertake
one strange, final quest. Kublai is beginning to suffer the ravages
of old age. Tales have reached him of a mysterious princess who
sleeps forever young, unaging... Surely she has the secret of
immortality. _Bring me the princess_, he tells the Polos, _and you
are free_!
