Bishop Hays is an ambitious young woman working at the Antarctica Shuttleport. She is dedicated to her job, but she wants more. She longs to explore the cosmos and become an astral-terrestrial archaeologist. On her twenty-fourth birthday, her dreams come true when she meets the Commander, an experienced though somewhat peculiar cosmic traveler. Their explorations take them to a strange and unknown world where they discover an ancient and abandoned city-but they are not alone. They encounter three legendary beings, known as the Paraxidiax, and their warrior guardian, the Komorah. The Paraxidiax seek a missing possession-an extensive library called the Orb. The Orb could save their world from an evil force known as the Desolators. Once thought to have been vanquished, they have returned to threaten all life throughout the universe. Now a perilous nightmare ensues that will test the strength and tenacity of Bishop and her starchasing dreams.
