A meteorite expert who teaches college chemistry is sent a meteorite from Nepal. It is extraordinarily heavy, and he determines that it is composed of a completely new element. So seemingly outlandish is his discovery that he chooses not to announce it in case he is mistaken. Instead, he decides he must find proof in the form of a second meteorite.
As the sole specimen was found in Nepal, he goes there to search the Himalayan glaciers. In his quest, he leaves behind the young student who has become the love of his life. He does so reluctantly, but he is driven by his search for knowledge.
Join William Tucker in his adventure as he explores the mysterious richness of life itself. It's a love story.
