About This Book

The narrative follows Captain Barnhart after his ship leaves him marooned on a distant planet inhabited by a hundred Quronos living in ten identical houses. Isolated and awaiting a risky phase jump, he faces a suspected mutiny by his officers while improvising shelter and routines from limited supplies. Barnhart observes the natives' repetitive customs, including geoplancting and xenogutting, seeking patterns that might signal danger, and struggles with duty, fear, and the practical challenge of restoring order and finding a way home.
