Under the three warm moons of Pluto, their green light spilling across crags of dusty silica, a weary Tele-news veteran walks a winding trail, long past caring about the beauty of exile.

Carl Selwyn's 1940 story steeps its space-opera adventure in a vividly imagined Plutonian landscape of cold horror and eerie splendor. Atmospheric, colorful golden-age pulp. Read it for richly rendered planetary romance among the exiles and monsters of the outermost world.
