THE STEPS OF THE SUN by Walter Tevis

Reread and finished We 3/9/16

One of my paperbacks that I got on Amazon and first finished We 12/13/06

This novel might be an elaborate fantasy about how a man might recover from sexual impotence.

Multimillionaire, Benjamin Belson buys a Chinese space ship to explore the solar system for more 'safe Uranium' for Earth. No more usable power sources, and the Earth is cooling and people are dying.

Belson- The planet that has obsidian rock and grass that 'sings and feels'. The planet also grows a product that is superior to aspirin.

Juno- The planet that has safe Uranium.

Belson comes back to Earth and put in prison by a Black congressman. Belsen becomes a Chinese citizen.

His real focus is to get back the dancer that he left because of his sexual problems. And, in the end, he reunites with his love and the lights of NYC start to come back (also, the elevators that had been shut down by government edict)
