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.
