Another Girl, Another Planet was the seventy-sixth Virgin New Adventures novel. It was the first novel not to feature "The New Adventures" and "NA" titling and logo on the cover. It was also the first novel to feature new font and titling and computer-aided design on the cover.

Publisher's summary

"I'm being stalked. I'm sure of it now. I'm frightened, and I need a friend."

Lizbeth Fugard is an archaeologist working on a backwater rock of a world. She's bankrolled by a government she despises, and has recently split up with her partner. And, just when she thinks life can't get any worse, someone starts following her — keeping to the shadows, but always there. Watching. Waiting. Eyes boring into her soul. The most beguiling eyes she has ever seen — and the most terrifying.

All she can think of is to call on the help of her old friend Professor Bernice Summerfield, and Bernice is only too happy to get away from her own work and see a bit more of the galaxy.

But on arrival she is soon immersed in sabotage, political secrets, gun-running, and an age-old love affair that ended in disaster and disgrace. To end a cycle of violence and hate, Bernice and Lizbeth must discover the truth — but doing so could have implications far beyond this obscure world.

Notes

  • This débuts the new cover layout which dispenses with the New Adventures layout and logo. The cover is more "computer illustrated" than before. The title is in a new font which is carried through for the rest of the novels. The NA logo is retained on the spine. The "New Adventures" word branding — which had previously been used on the cover — was retained for the inside title page.

Continuity

Behind the scenes

  • The title is an allusion to a 1978 song of the same name by English rock band The Only Ones.[1]
