About This Book

A newly appointed commissioner and his much younger, glamorous wife travel aboard a passenger ship that splits into two tethered sections, setting up a mix of domestic jealousy, flirtation, and social posturing against a technological spectacle. The narrative outlines the centrigrav system that spins the separated sections on a common axis and leaves the pilot alone in the detached nose for forty-two days, while the passenger section copes with null gravity. As separation time nears, the commissioner discovers a scheduling discrepancy and frantically tries to halt the procedure, but a deliberate cutoff of shipboard communications thwarts his attempts, creating tense uncertainty.
