A widowed Icelandic physicist, whose "close" brush with Nobel fame has passed, is ready to retire when Crave Chemical offers him his own university laboratory. With no family tying him to his spartan European existence, Saevar settles in to a very foreign Manhattan, with electronic taxis, computerized landlords, gypsies with addictions, and more trees than he expected. Saevar begins his work investigating an anti-matter propulsion accident. With one assistant suspecting him of senility and the other too green to trust, he conducts elaborate experiments in his insulated vacuum. His scientiFic mind is foiled by the recurrent disappearance of his equipment and the persistent absence of people he loved.Even a man like this can stumble into adventure.
