Pat Travis, a spacer known for his remarkable luck, faces an unprecedented challenge when he lands on a planet that relies on astrology for every significant decision. Tasked with securing commercial contracts with newly-Contacted human races, he finds himself in a perilous situation, arriving on one of the worst-aspected days in history. Michael Shaara's "Conquest Over Time," originally published in 1956, explores themes of fate versus free will, highlighting the absurdity of relying on superstition in critical moments. This enduring tale resonates today as it prompts listeners to reflect on the influence of belief systems in our own decision-making processes and the unpredictable nature of fortune.
