Coronet Blue

Very nearly a time to die, but that could happen.

""The mask with which you have favored us.""

Another perspective on the round-dance of obliquity.

After being shot, Alden finds himself at a monastery, where a monk befriends him. Noticing a stained glass window of St. Anthony resembles him closely, they set out to find the artist who did it.

How they evanesce and plunge into memory.

Game... after game—in the games... Alden gets between a revolutionary and the reaction.

Anthony is lured to a strange apartment by a naval officer, where he finds a girl in a harem costume. Later he's accused of murdering the officer by the police when his body is found in a room where his finger prints are found.

""from midnight to midnight no weeping""

A reluctant girl is used as a medium in a magic act, and a blue coronet is part of her costume. This intrigues Mike and Tony, who find the magician a strange and probably psychotic devil worshiper who won't let the girl go.

Feds want to exploit Alden's amnesia for simulating a mission to Mars. Brainwashed, he and a partner are placed into a drug-induced simulator. His partner's breakdown aborts the mission, just as Michael begins to remember parts of his past.

Alden hears a pop tune on the radio, supposedly from a dead singer, yet never released until that moment-but he somehow knows the lyrics already, and surmises that he had to have been present at the recording session. Tony joins him as they pressure the dead star's producer for information.
