But the elusive book proves unexpectedly dangerous. Oskar Lens, a science fiction-obsessed mobster in the midst of an existential crisis, will stop at nothing to find the novel. After Delia's husband Levi goes missing, she seeks help from Daniel Chase, a young, face-blind book dealer. The infamous novel Lode Stars was written by the infamous Eugene Charles Hartley: legendary pulp science-fiction writer and founder of the Church of the All-Seeing Eyes. In Hartley's novel, a doppelganger of Delia searches for her missing father in a strange star system. But is any of Lode Stars real? Was Hartley a cynical conman on a quest for wealth and immortality, creating a religion he did not believe in? Or was he a visionary who truly discovered the secrets of the universe?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Missing persons $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interstellar travel $v FIction. 650 0 $a Novelists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Antiquarian booksellers $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 4 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240316010543.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025855.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012312.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230906010135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B43DD3D84C7A11EE8105036A52ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
