Our Fathers' Gold

Toni has spent her life in space, so she's used to zero-G maneuvers and calculating orbital trajectories. Wagner's operas were not part of her curriculum. But when Hagen rents her father's ship to stage Das Rheingold, she learns that she's not what she thought she was, Hagen is not what she thought he was, and the "official" story of the Rheingold may not be all of the story, or even a very accurate version. If she expects to survive--and save the world from the Ring and a curse that has no room for love--she's going to have to be a fast study.

This story was originally published in the anthology SPACE OPERA in 1996.
