This novel contains two stories which are significantly intertwined with each other. One story is of the lavish Aurora making its transoceanic travel to Sydney, Australia and must crash-land in the middle of the Pacificus. The other story is when young Matt Cruse is swung to save a drifting gondola with an insensible, extremely sick elderly man that speaks of “beautiful creatures” as his life comes to an end.
