THE SPIKE: The woman he loves β€” a wandering playwright from Ganymede. SAM: The man he admires β€” the handsome, astute chief foreign officer crippled by the responsibility of vast power. LAWRENCE: His confessor β€” the master of strategic games. CHARO and WINDY: The players β€” cosmic minstrels of the far future.
