Leap Summary
| Father Tim Shannon, driven by personal tragedy and a crisis of faith, has agreed to be the priest who makes a circuit of the atmosphere--dipping platforms near Venus, performing marriages, baptisms, and hearing confession. While on the way to Anteros Station, and suffering from zero-gee malaise, he has to visit the head of the sixteen passenger tug taking him there. While inside there is a lurch and an explosion, and when he finally is able to emerge, he finds that he is the only one left alive on the tug. When he at last manages to raise someone on the crippled craft's radio, he learns that his situation is even worse than he first thought. The tug is pilot-less, all engines are dead, and it is heading straight for Anteros like a bullet for a target. A target where over one hundred people will die if the tug cannot be diverted. Only the voice on the radio, a woman named Lillith, and the courage to overcome his own fears, can bring salvation to the doomed souls on Anteros. |
