William Kidd’s travels on stolen roads begin when he’s a boy on leave from a psychiatric hospital and survives a car accident that kills both his parents. Kidd knows the otherworldly thing crouched on his dying father’s chest is no hallucination. Nothing in his mental inventory of the planet’s natural creatures jibes with this pebble-skinned thing nearly as big as a man, with spiky shoulders and lizard-like snout. The beast claws his face, giving him an indelible totem-mark scar he still wears as a young man when he goes in search of the creatures he calls “trocs.”

As war approaches, the Shaposhnikov family gathers for a meal: despite her age, Alexandra will soon become a refugee, Tolya will enlist in the reserves, Vera, a Nurse, will fall in love with a wounded pilot and Viktor Shtrum will receive a letter from his doomed mother which will haunt him forever.

Although they have transformed philosophy, his ideas have had little impact on politics - until now.
