Don Eiron can't find much comfort in his coffin-like
capsule hatch, other than a few beers stashed in the wall and the
virtual seduction of a young nightclub singer named Gaza.
It's no wonder he's losing sleep.
Eiron can't find a job, any relatives, or memories of his past, making
the 22nd century a cruel place to be. But he finds hope in a lone
business card picked up from the dusty streets of Pomona, California.
Welcome to Planet Gemini - a dumping ground for America's have-nots.
He follows a flood of criminals, border jumpers and transients
billions of miles across the universe to a place where the work is
plenty and the party never seems to end.
For Eiron, a middle-aged barfly who lives in a constant haze, it seems
to be the answer to all his problems. But the source of his amnesia
proves to be a sobering, and dangerous discovery.
