Jason Cane, the Vice President of the United States, and Dana Soukupová, the departing ambassador from the Earth-colonized planet of Parnassus, are in love. What no one knows is that Jason is making plans to move to Parnassus. But when Dana is gunned down in front of him, he decides to attempt to catch the killer. During a chase that takes him from Ohio to Iowa and then Europe, Jason embarks on an adventurous journey, sometimes heartbreakingly sad and sometimes maniacally funny, where he meets diverse characters that include the world's clumsiest security guard, a lisping robot, an ex-girlfriend who can't let go, a dog that seems intent on driving him insane, a no-nonsense police officer who becomes personally involved, a pugnacious space marine, a misguided scientist, pesky children, a homeless person from the past, two female detectives who are weapons on legs and, of course, the serial killer. But will justice ever be served? In this exciting sci-fi adventure, the Vice President of the United States sets out on a journey to find the perpetrator who gunned down his girlfriend, the departing ambassador from an Earth-colonized planet.
