Description

Carter Evans is founder and editor-in-chief of Astounding!—a formerly popular spec fiction magazine currently in its death throes.

Not only can he do nothing to save it, but stuck in a rathole apartment with few interpersonal connections, he can't seem to do much to rescue his future either. And certainly all the booze isn't helping. He snaps when he receives yet another terrible story submission from the mysterious writer J.

Harper—and in a drunken haze, Carter sends Harper a rejection letter he soon regrets. J. Harper turns out to be John Harper, a sweet man who resembles a '50s movie star and claims to be an extraterrestrial.

Despite John's delusions, Carter's apology quickly turns into something more as the two lonely men find a powerful connection.

Inexplicably drawn to John, Carter invites him along on a road trip.

But as they travel, Carter is in for some big surprises, some major heartbreak… and just maybe the promise of a good future after all.
