About This Book

A once-celebrated spatial flight theorist, ruined after a disaster that killed eleven men, descends into alcoholism and public humiliation until a plump, confident benefactor intervenes. The benefactor escorts him into luxury, insinuates a test of character, and drugs him, after which he awakens cared for by a compassionate woman from the night before. The episode sets up a confrontation with shame, manipulation, and the possibility of recovery, while an enigmatic promise about a man with golden eyes hints at an extraordinary revelation to follow.
