Rod and Hydie are made prisoners of war, and both face great dangers. The other world is that of provincial peasants and a class-conscious urban society. The peasant Zoahum, the victim of a local rebellion, finds himself the unwilling caretaker of a giant spaceship. Ghem the astronomer and his young daughter embark on a journeyof discovery which becomes ever more terrifying.
