Pez’s senior disciple, Bodhi, gets drawn through a wormhole while prospecting in his Expeditionary Tug Utility ship to become lost in space-time. He is accompanied by his Quantum AI Humanoid Android, or QAISHA. Together they seek a planetary population with interstellar travel and end up assisting a planet on the verge of biosphere collapse to migrate to a pristine yellow sun third planet 28 light years away. Next they discover a planet population that has attained moral anarchy and is about to be invaded by an empire still dependent upon star-gates for travel between stars. In the process of liberating the enslaved planets of this empire they discover the people of Pronotavasmi, who are advancing along the path of the Amonrahonian race, and learn of a dire threat to all of the planetary systems they have become affiliated with. The threat is from the people who call themselves the Consumere, and who thrive on raping the resources of inhabited yellow and white sun inhabited planets. Bodhi must stop them.
