Summary
Stede smiled and leaned against the edge of the train door. “I can’t tell you what’s going to happen in the future, Ed. My world has already changed so much, in just six weeks. Who’s to say it can’t keep changing? Maybe there’s trouble ahead. Or maybe this -” He looked back down at Ed, who was gazing up at him in open, unguarded wonder. “Maybe all of this will get easier for- for people like us. I don’t know. But I sure would like to find out together. Wouldn’t you?”

Summary
It’s the summer of 1959, and classics professor Stede Bonnet is determined to become a new man. He’s made two monumental changes so far: he’s resigned his position at the University of Chicago, where he has taught for his entire career, and he’s left his wife Mary, to whom he has been married for nine years. Now he’s off to the only place in the United States where you can get a no-fault divorce: the deserts of Nevada. He’s checking in to a so-called Divorce Ranch just outside of Reno, where he’ll spend the requisite six weeks establishing residency. After that, it’s off to California to assume his new teaching position and his new life.
It's the summer of 1959. Ed Teach has been living in Reno since he was a teenager. He's a radio DJ, an artist, a handyman and a fixture of the community, particularly popular in the underground gay nightlife scene that is still recovering from the brutal vice raids of the McCarthy era.

Summary
Stede Bonnet has always dreamed of space. As a child, it was his parents that held him back. As an adult, it’s the looming presence of protective Dome that stops him from mapping the stars. Stede thinks he might have figured out a way around the Domes, but he’ll need the help of a genius to do it. When he approaches the famous inventor Blackbeard, that decision changes everything and takes Stede places he thought he’d only gaze at longingly from afar.
