Ross, a young officer on Halsey’s Planet, can smell decay everywhere: shrinking cities, failing trade and a growing Ghost Town. He steals a faster-than-light ship to find out whether other colonies are dying too, and with the resourceful Helena visits worlds run by the very old, by women, and by other absurdities, each a satirical mirror of our own.
