Walter Tevis wrote the acclaimed story, The Man Who Fell to Earth. Now he brings his superb writing talent to a story about a grim near-future earth that has exhausted its supplies of energy. He's rich and jaded. He buys a mothballed spaceship and sets out on the adventure of a lifetime: looking for uranium on distant planets. He finds more than anyone can imagine--a sentient planet!
