      The Love of Frank Nineteen

      by David C. Knight

      What will happen to love in that far off Day after Tomorrow? David C. Knight, editor with a New York trade publisher, agrees with the many impressed by the range of possible subjects and situations in science fiction. The result is a unique love story from that same Tomorrow.

      Min and I were just getting settled in the spotel game when the leg turned up. That was back in the days when the Orbit Commission would hand out a license to anybody crazy enough to sink his savings into construction and pay the tows and assembly fees out into space.

      A good orbit can make you or break you in the spotel business. That’s where we were lucky. The
