A primatologist's lover suspects her of obsession with one of her simian charges. The horrors of trench warfare dovetail with the theoretical workings of black holes.

An astonishing invention that records the sense of touch is far too dangerous for Thomas Edison to reveal."---p.[4] of cover. 650 0 $a Astronauts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Primatologists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Black holes (Astronomy) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Time travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Touch $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War III $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Kelly, James P. $q (James Patrick) $d 1951- 700 1 $a Kessel, John. 700 1 $a Scholz, Carter. 700 1 $a Gloss, Molly. 700 1 $a Shepard, Lucius. 700 1 $a Willis, Connie. 700 1 $a Wolfe, Gene. 700 1 $a Chabon, Michael. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20151001040748.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3AC65E76680311E588D327A2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
