It is 1968, the end of the saga of Tom Jordache, the murdered hero of Rich Man, Poor Man. In the ship he had captained, now piloted by his son, Wesley, are Kate, his wife of five days, his brother and sister, Rudolph Jordache and Gretchen Burke, and his best friend and partner, Bunny Dwyer.

A new génération takes center stage, in America and Europe, in a time of violence and péril; new bonds are formed, between cousin and cousin, sister and brother, stran-gers and lovers; there is ecstasy and terror, victory and defeat. The Jor-daches survive.
The canvas is as rich as it is wide and the characterizations as wonder-ful as a master storyteller can make them, in a novel that stands com-pletely on its own while it enhances the stories begun in Rich Man, Poor M an.
