Book Overview

In celestial mechanics, there is no exact solution to the class of problems of calculating the orbits of three bodies circling each other. Frank Sladek, a private investigator on Star City, a hollowed out asteroid orbiting a brown dwarf, has a different kind of problem to solve. With three bodies on his hands, he has to find a solution to dealing with the aftermath in a way that will get him off the hook and won't get him killed. Whether it's a body with four arms, a body that won't stay dead, or the body of a murdered friend who has left him a package, his task won't be easy, but whether by his wits or good aim with a laser pistol, Sladek must find a solution to survive.

About Greg Fowlkes

Stanley Grauman Weinbaum (April 4, 1902-December 14, 1935) was born in Louisville, Kentucky and grew up in Milwaukee. He studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Madison before switching his major to English. He left the university in 1923 without graduating. His first science fiction story, "A Martian Odyssey," was published in 1934. His promising career was cut tragically short when he died less than eighteen months later of lung cancer. Highly regarded by his peers, "A Martian Odyssey" was selected by the Science Fiction Writers of America for inclusion in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Vol. I. In 2008 he was selected for the Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery Award. A number of his stories were published after his death, including several that were finished by either his sister or Roger Sherman Hoar.
