But his newfound career as officer on a star-survey mission ended in disaster almost as soon as it had begun. And when he returned home, the only survivor of a freak accident that had flung his ship out of known space, he found that a century had passed - and though Larkspur the playwright was now famous, Larkspur the explorer was a wanted man.
