Coyote Jones arrives on the planet Furthest, a world of water with "spangled life" that danced and pulsed with "red and green and gold and deep soft blue" (7), to learn more about the descendants of a puritanical religious group that fled persecution. The reason? Little is known about Furthest as it only joined the Federation three years earlier. The psychological readings in the central computer of the colonists seems askew. And, due to the charms of bureaucracy, the delegate from Furthest will soon be appointed the President of the Tri-Galactic Federation! So off goes the bumbling Coyote Jones, folk musician/telepath/relentless lover, to uncover the mysteries of the world. Mostly frustrated by the prudish nature of the women he encounters, Coyote also discovers that the city domes do not contain cities. And the one he is allowed to explore seems a bit too planned and the people a bit too controlled.
