After a harrowing encounter with the enemy, a group of Royal Navy pilots, including Canadian exchange officer Sidney Daventry, find themselves sucked through a wormhole into a strange, beautiful new world, far from their homes and families. While there, they encounter two American scientists, Lucretia and Jeremiah Tang, who have also been swept away and marooned on the alien world. But before they can all get home, they learn of a grave threat to the Racosku, the brilliant and friendly indigenous species. Will Sidney and Lucretia be able to convince their companions, especially by-the-book commander Gene Faintary, to risk their aircraft and resources to save the desperate creatures, potentially getting stranded on the alien planet forever?
