About This Book

A narrator and colleagues find a dying stranger clutching a manuscript and a huge flawless crystal; the paper, written by Barry Horn, recounts his return from a remote future after an amnesic sleep caused by cosmic rays. His tale describes encounters with the last human and two enigmatic women tied to a living stone, a struggle against a robot monster, and strange technologies and injuries. The frame narrative alternates investigation of the manuscript and diamond with Horn's adventurous chronicle, leaving legal, scientific, and existential mysteries unresolved.
