Abstract
I wrote the first draft of this novel more than twenty years ago. I have revised it multiple times since then, but did not seek a publisher until recently. For years, the manuscript would sit idle and untouched. It was only after another division at Springer accepted my popular science book about particulate matter air pollution that I inquired about publishing fiction and they directed me to this Science and Fiction series.
