About This Book

A spaceship captain returns to a pleasure-planet bar to find a woman from his past, pursues and marries her while keeping his history private. They honeymoon at the Golden Apple and settle into married life, but the wife repeatedly senses an unseen presence watching her and notices an intruder at the wedding, which creates growing unease. The captain wrestles with commitment and memory as human and alien patrons mingle around them, and the narrative follows the couple's attempts to build a future while an ambiguous external watcher and the husband's concealed past threaten their security.
