About This Book

An orbiting lunar research station houses detached scientists; one, Reed Kieran, cherishes distance from Earth. A ferry crash kills several men and appears to asphyxiate Kieran; his frozen body is left outside while officers debate whether to retrieve or preserve him for possible revival. The incident exposes institutional pressures, questions about scientific hope and human attachment, and the psychological isolation of men who live among the stars as colleagues wrestle with practical, moral, and emotional consequences.
