In un futuro dove la colonizzazione dallo spazio si sta consolidando, il punto di partenza è l'incontro fra due giovani, un compositore idealista e la nipote del magnate di un impero finanziario più che globale. Ma è lo spazio a rappresentare la realizzazione dei desideri dei ragazzo, che si imbarca su una nave di coloni interstellari. Inizialmente, nonostante i rimpianti, la sua vita diventa il sogno di un solitario individualista, che vuole costruirsi un'esistenza autonoma fra i pionieri del cosmo. Ma se il mito americano della frontiera è sempre pronto a risorgere nello spazio, come la fantascienza ci insegna da sempre, i tempi sono cambiati e il viaggio conduce il protagonista Joel Johnston ad affrontare lo spettro di una distruzione senza precedenti. In uno scenario tecnologico aggiornato secondo le speculazioni scientifiche più avanzate e popolato da creazioni fantascientifiche passate e presenti, si scontrano i sogni di innocenza e la prospettiva del cataclisma.

Rescued by a Royal Mexican plane, they were hit by a double earthquake. From then on, as changed world followed changed world, things went from bad to worse.To Alex, all the signs increasingly pointed to Armageddon and the Day of Judgement. And Margrethe was a determined heathen. Somehow he had to bring her to a state of grace, for Heaven would be no paradise without her. But time was growing short. Somewhere, there had to be a solution to it all. And, of course, there was. But it was truly a Hell of a solution.

Román byl dokončen sedmnáct let po Heinleinově smrti a jeho spoluautorem je oprávněně Spider Robinson.

Heinlein nastínil před lety osnovu společně s poznámkami. Jedná se o klasický sci-fi příběh, ve kterém lidská rasa cítí nezbytnou potřebu kolonizovat i mimo rodnou planetu.
