It’s about a very wealthy man whose wife is seriously ill so they put her in one of those freeze things (cryogenics) to be revived at some future time.  The actual location  of the freeze is very, very, very remote and .  The man’s son, the first person of the novel,  is involved in a parallel plot line.
