Healing Rays in Space

In a lavish library of platinum and teak, a towering tycoon oversees a wall‑size chart of the solar system, its red pins marking the arteries of interplanetary commerce. Beside him sits his frail daughter, confined to a wheelchair, whose lingering illness from the Venus plague haunts every decision. Their world teeters between opulent triumph—owning the once‑dominant Thallin Starways—and the desperate wish to heal the one thing wealth cannot fix.

The fragile peace shatters when a massive, dust‑caked spacer bursts into the room, bearing the name Rufus Thallin. He claims his father’s dying wish: to keep the old starways alive and to exact revenge on the man who drove his family to ruin. As old grudges surface, Marshall is forced to confront a new, daring technology that could reshape travel across the stars, while the promise of a cure for his daughter hangs in the balance.
