About this book
At a crowded wedding ceremony on Mars, Lynne Fenlay feels homesick for Earth. Brides must return to the home planet to bear their children, and the practical arrangements jar with her feelings about marriage. Her unusual telepathic abilities brought her to Mars during an earlier emergency, and she has remained to help with research. Now her unhappiness mingles with a troubling sense that fresh danger is approaching.
The adventure reaches Callisto, where Lynne and Rolf Marcein encounter a stranded mission studying a promising new element. Blasts threaten its shelter whenever electrical circuits are used, while powerful alien signals overwhelm Lynne's thoughts. Sam Merwin brings the problems of communication and planetary exploration alongside the personal strains of settlement. The contrast between communal necessity and individual feeling gives this science fiction story an interest beyond its strange environments, especially for readers drawn to the human consequences of imagined technologies.
