Science Fiction
It is indeed a Universe of Miracles! But not for young
Pimsol Anderts, idle and jobless on a depressed, waterlogged
world, until he signs aboard the interstellar freighter
Miraculous Abernathy. Indentured to the aristocratic Wirthy
family—and bewitched by beautiful Mirable Wirthy, the latest
clone of the long-dead matriarch Imogene Wirthy—Pim's
adventure has barely begun when pirates attack, forcing him
to flee the ship with Mirable in tow. Suddenly they are
castaways on the primitive planet Temurlone. Separated from his beloved by the Marvelous Flying Bicycle
Men and doomed to hard labor in the Temurlone meat mines,
Pim knows that nothing can keep him from the woman who is
his destiny. He will brave any trial an uncaring God puts
before him—escaping the sensuous seductions of the Man
Mother, surviving the culinary horrors of the cannibal
innkeeper Harmony Repute, courageously facing the threat of
eternal toil in the sweatshops of Charming Corners—in the
name of love. With the original and satiric Castaway on
Temurlone, author David Wesley Hill has boldly reconfigured
the venerable space opera into an action-packed parable for
our times.
