From the Hugo and Nebula Award–successful writer: “High adventure, considerable tension, and—most important—social consciousness” (Harlan Ellison).
Simeon Krug is the king of the universe. A self-made man, he’s the Bill Gates of the period, having constructed a megacommercial empire on the backs of his merchandise: androids, genetically engineered human slaves. Having amassed unimaginable wealth, his subsequent main purpose is to speak with aliens residing in an uninhabitable world, sending a mysterious sign. This requires constructing a mile excessive tower within the arctic tundra.
The androids need civil equality with people, however are divided on the most effective means to the purpose—political agitation or non secular devotion to Krug, their creator. And Krug’s son, Manuel, is reluctant to step into his function as inheritor to his father’s empire.
