Type: NOVEL
Language: English
Note: According to Simmons' afterword in the third printing of the Bantam edition and the Locus Index, the second (and presumably all subsequent) printing of the Bantam edition, which appeared in March 1991, was revised, though the afterword in the second printing gives no indication of any revisions.
Simmons stresses in the Afterword that the novel is NOT SF
Synopsis: Follows Richard Baedecker, an Apollo astronaut who walked on the moon, through his midlife crisis. He meanders through India, Glen Oak Illinois, the mountains of Colorado, and the coastline of Oregon, checking up on his son and his former Apollo crewmates.
