The Staff of Ira - Sheffield Carl Sheffield - Bog

A time long ago, on the planet of Boldlygo, a race was on the verge of extinction with little hope to find a way to stop it. The leader and his scientist tried taking DNA from other species on the planet to create a new life form. A new life they did create, yet it was not acceptable. The scientist told the leader, "A female we must have." This statement brought many questions as to how or where. The only females on the planet were infertile. As they sat and pondered as to how they would come about such females, an idea occurred. "Let's build a ship," said the scientist, "to carry us to other worlds in search of a female."
