While Dart ponders the whereabouts of the missing SuperPatriot, Debbie Harris II informs Dragon that the homeless Gods have set their sights on raising the lost city of Atlantis.

Angered that she cannot receive a commitment from Dragon, Alex apparently 'dumps' him at his house - where he then finds Powerhouse waiting for him. Dragon and Powerhouse then engage in a furious and prolonged battle, all the while debating their respective ideologies.

After an unsuccesful get-together at William & Rita's where Angel insults their ugly child, she and Dragon are visited by Mighty Man / Ann Stevens.

“In science fiction there is only a handful of books that stretch the mind—and this is one of them.”—Arthur C. Clarke In a moving story of sacrifice and triumph, human scientists establish a relationship with intelligent lifeforms—the cheela—living on Dragon’s Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years. The cheela culturally evolve from savagery to the discovery of science, and for a brief time, men are their diligent teachers. Praise for Dragon’s Egg “Bob Forward writes in the tradition of Hal Clement’s Mission of Gravity and carries it a giant step (how else?) forward.”—Isaac Asimov “Dragon’s Egg is superb. I couldn’t have written it; it required too much real physics.”—Larry Niven “This is one for the real science-fiction fan.”—Frank Herbert “Robert L. Forward tells a good story and asks a profound question. If we run into a race of creatures who live a hundred years while we live an hour, what can they say to us or we to them?”—Freeman J. Dyson “Forward has impeccable scientific credentials, and . . . big, original, speculative ideas.”—The Washington Post

Dragon frees himself from the clutches of Cyberface, only to fall from one of his Martian spaceships into Lake Michigan. Even underwater, however, he is pursued by Cyberface, who takes on the form of a 30-story robot. Dragon is able to find an old Martian spacesuit within a submerged spaceship, and atteracts the attention of a Giant Sea Monster, which distracts Cyberface, and allows Dragon to swim away - only to be whisked away into a tunnel by a bizarre tentacled-creature. Dragon frees himself, but is left in an unknown part of "Lake Fear," exhausted and without air.
