About This Book

On the glass-domed moon of Triton, a desperate convict escapes an otherwise secure interstellar penitentiary and makes for the night spaceport just as an all-female symphony prepares to depart. A stevedore foreman grows suspicious and scrambles to speed the loading while the symphony's patron urges calm; the fugitive uses disguises and forged papers to blend into the crowd. The episode forces collisions between frontier danger, cultured showmanship, and clandestine identity, drawing in the Man of Many Bodies whose presence becomes central to how events unfold.
