An action-packed science fiction novella full of surprises and poignant charm. Readers will follow the adventures of the sole crewmember of an interplanetary freighter left awake and on watch (the "jump watch") as the ship traverses the void between worlds. Our hero manages the ship's systems, repairs damage, recaptures escaped cargo, and pines for one of his cryogenically frozen crewmates. Will he be able to avoid breaking the interstellar freight regulations in the name of love, or will he neglect his duty to satisfy the imperious demands of the human heart?
