The story navigates the complexities of a ghetto on a distant planet where human refugees coexist uneasily with alien inhabitants. The main character, Laszlo Cudyk, is a middle-aged man grappling with nostalgia for Earth while navigating the political tensions and threats posed by activist factions within the human diaspora. At the start of the novel, Cudyk reflects on his life in the Earth Quarter while observing the alien city outside his window, reminding him of his connection to a lost past. The opening introduces an atmosphere of tension, with a recent riot signaling unrest among the inhabitants. As Cudyk sets out to meet various characters, including a political newcomer named Harkway, the reader is drawn into the intricacies of their world—marked by conflicts between different groups and the underlying struggle for survival. The narrative hints at deeper conflicts to come, emphasizing themes of identity, social division, and the consequences of political ideals. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
