Eli Gripp, intrastellar jazz pianist, has returned from exile in the twenty-fifth century for revenge. Armed only with a chromatic piano and a rusted out jalopy, Gripp speeds from the snow-covered rooftops of Titan to the haunted metropoles of Mercury. Space and time blur. Enemies form in storm clouds and frozen seas, speakeasies turn to dark splinters, and an inescapable evil swirls beneath a frozen, dead world. But as Gripp's streak of vengeance tears the solar system apart, it takes a toll on his spirit, and he's about to come up short.
