About This Book

A mild-mannered traveler expects a simple round-trip but is repeatedly rerouted by an opaque interstellar travel agency. Shuffled among officious clerks, impassive guides, and workaday freighters, he endures delays, mismatched tickets, and the tedium of staged hops between worlds. The story foregrounds comic frustration and bureaucratic absurdity as the galaxy's transit system reduces a straightforward journey to a bewildering loop, using light satire and episodic mishaps to examine perseverance, human fallibility, and the strange routines of space travel.
