"Starlady Sandra" is a popular TV astronomer, famous for discovering the new planet, Athena. At 42, childless, and married to a conventional barrister, Sandra runs off with Mad Jack, trumpet-playing hero of the title, after a single, tempestuous sexual encounter. On a gig in France, Sandra and Jack spend every spare moment in bed — or any approximation — continually "remaking the universe". But over the buzz of sexual gratification, Sandra hears the beat of her biological clock, and reconsiders her origins — her mother is institutionalized for insanity while her father, a Nazi doctor, was tried at Nuremberg and executed for his experiments — and her related decision not to procreate.
