It is during the long and isolating interstellar journey that a physical relationship develops between Kyle and the ship’s physician, Kelly Takara. That part is easy.

So, too, is trying to penetrate the mind of Larry Melhaus, the mission’s brilliant and reclusive physicist, a failure of communication made exponentially more troublesome when the scientist’s disturbing behavior begins to threaten the crew.
And while Kyle seeks a path to comprehending himself and Melhaus, the ship’s crew, led by their strong-willed commander, Bruce Thompson, attempt to fathom a planet where none of the precepts of science seem to apply. A world where every preconceived notion of what constitutes life must be re-examined and challenged.
