Jake Ross is a professor of astronomy who is recently widowed. Following the advice of an old mentor he becomes the science advisor of Franklin Tomlinson, a playboy running against the incumbent for a seat in the US Senate. Encouraging Tomlison to back MHD power generators, a clean electricity generation process, Jake becomes involved in politics, steamy love affairs, and several murders. MHD means magnetohydrodynamics, and is real.
