In the year 2300, the Third Earth Fleet is taking the exploration of time and space into unknown reaches of the galaxy. One of the planets to emerge from the shadows is the lush orb called Kopius, where the gentle Solars live in peace as children of their sun. Major George Pickett's mission is to document and classify various new species, with the assistance of his superbly skilled Recorder, Lu. Yet Pickett's quest leads him beyond the sun-drenched mountains into the mysterious valley inhabited by the Nocturnes - the strange, predatory counterparts to their light-loving cousins in the north. What he finds there compels him to send an urgent message to early 21st-Century inhabitants of the earth, a message that can only be delivered by his time-traveling colleague Rolfe.
