Publisher’s Blurb – Lower Cover
Mars in 1994. A desolate place, forgotten by Earth, where isolated homesteaders huddle along the lines of the great canals, in thrall to the powerful plumbing union which controls the vital water supply.

Arnie Kott is head of the union. His obsession for manipulation poisons the lives of those he draws to him – his beautiful mistress, Doreen, Jack Bohlen, the schizophrenic repairman she comes to love, Manfred, an autistic child who is plagued with memories of a terrifying future – even the poor native Bleekmen of Mars.

Arnie has a use for everyone.

Arnie wants to control time.

"The terror and the humour are fused. It is this rare quality which marks Dick out"
