It was the idea of an amateur astronomer with a yearning to see more than his home-made telescopes could show. Money from another amateur made it reality-the telescope to end all telescopes. But at this point the professionals and the politicians became interested, and suddenly the whole future of the great invention pivoted upon the character of the inventor's wife who had the power to sway her husband's decision towards exploitation of his discovery or its free dissemination. This novel is filled with the delight of star gazing and experimenting with telescopes. As it rises to its final decision, the reader must come to wonder whether what he reads might not be possible some day
