Summary
When Winston Niles Rumfoord flies his
spaceship into a chrono-synclastic infundibulum he is converted
into pure energy and only materializes when his waveforms
intercept Earth or some other planet. As a result, he only gets
home to Newport, Rhode Island, once every fifty-nine days and
then only for an hour. But at least, as a consolation, he now
knows everything that has ever happened and everything that
ever will be. He knows, for instance, that his wife is going to
Mars to mate with Malachi Constant, the richest man in the
world. He also knows that on Titan -- one of Saturn's moons --
is an alien from the planet Tralfamadore, who has been waiting
200,000 years for a spare part for his grounded
spacecraft...
