For years, engineer Landen Keene has envied the Kronian colony among the moons of Saturn, which embodies the pioneer spirit that Earth has lost.

And a white-hot protoplanet which Jupiter has emitted is found to be on a collision course with Earth. Keene has to choose between escaping on the Kronian ship or making a desperate cross-continent journey to find a woman he didn't even realize he cared about -- if she is still alive....
