Description

Julia has just turned twenty‑four and, thanks to a mysterious uncle, finds herself the owner of more than $20,000. Leaving the safe routine of a small bookshop, she buys a crisp suit, a bus ticket, and a dream of meeting the right man in bustling Los Angeles. Her optimism and sharp eye for detail make the ordinary feel like an adventure, even as she plots how to turn her windfall into a comfortable life and perhaps a husband.

Beyond Earth’s moon, a massive wheel‑shaped station spins silently, housing both alien overseers and a restless legion of mutants who whisper of a deadly descent. Their secret plans and the station’s hidden technologies flicker on Earth’s telescopes, unnoticed by most. As Julia embarks on her cross‑country journey, an unseen conflict brews in the stars, hinting that her personal quest may intersect with a danger the planet has yet to comprehend.

About the author

Kris Neville

Kris Neville

1925–1980

A sharp, underappreciated voice from mid-century science fiction, this writer earned lasting admiration for stories that were witty, inventive, and a little offbeat. Best known for the novella Bettyann, he built an early reputation in the magazines before largely stepping away from fiction.
