Book description
Mars is a desolate world. Largely forgotten by Earth, the planet
remains helpless in the stranglehold of Arnie Kott, who as boss of the
plumber's union has a monopoly over the vital water supply. Arnie Kott
is obsessed by the past; the native Bleekmen, poverty-stricken
wanderers, can see into the future; while to Manfred, an autistic boy,
time apparently stops. When one of the colonists, Norbert Steiner,
commits suicide, the repercussions are startling and bizarre.
