About the book
Wealthy playboy Malachi Constant is manipulated across the solar system on an interplanetary voyage orchestrated by Winston Niles Rumfoord, an aristocrat who exists as a wave phenomenon scattered across time and space. Traveling from Earth to Mars, Mercury, and finally Saturn's moon Titan, Constant searches for meaning in a seemingly random universe. The novel satirizes human destiny, religion, and the cosmic insignificance of mankind.
