Zatím se úspěšně daří ignorovat nepříjemnosti, které s sebou kontakt s teokratickou civilizací Össeanů přináší: kult vesmírných Lodí, krvavé lidské oběti ve jménu Hmyzího boha, spóry nitrožilních hub a rituální drogy, rozkládající lidskou vůli. Lucas Hildebrandt, který jako vyslanec důvěrně poznal tamní svět, si ale dobře uvědomuje, že Země začíná být na Össe závislá. Proto hledá sílu, která by se mohla stát protiváhou össenské moci. Skutečně ji nachází – jenže je jiná, než předpokládal; a cena, kterou za to on sám musí zaplatit, je krutá.

Nepříliš vhodné místo pro člověka. A přesto zde žijí v rodovém zřízení tisíce lidí. Mezi nimi i dvojčata Kastor a Polydeukés, které od sebe rozdělí nešťastný sled událostí. A existují také lidé, kterým je tajemná společnost žijící na dně plástve trnem v oku a hledají prostředky, jak ho dobýt a rodové klany zlikvidovat. Pár tisíc takřka bezbranných primitivů údajně ohrožuje pohodlný život milionů, žijících v blahobytu v horních sférách plástve. Jedinou nadějí pro vítězství ve válce, které má zajistit nadvládu vyvolených, je právě Kastor. Ale Kastor je současně jedinou nadějí svého kmene…

Děj některých povídek je zasazen do historicky známých období a to přináší otázku, zda se to opravdu mohlo stát? Jiné povídky jsou rámovány místopisem autorova rodného kraje a proto čtenáři znalého jižního Plzeňska mohou být některé názvy známé.
