| The great star ship, Sirius III, becomes lost in what seems to be a parallel universe. It comes through the "Barrier Wall" of translight velocity, out there beyond the Einstein equations "at the end of their astral cords from Mother Earth." Why do no star ships ever return? Is Earth alone in the universe? Star men have become the myth heroes of the age, the desperate Star Quest (for other life) is a world cult. Their Earth lives and dreams have been sacrificed to the stars, only to find that Nature wears a cosmic "chastity belt" against the cross-contamination of cultures. Man the eternal contaminant must first be decontaminated. How? One star ship goes through the experience of finding the key to the Barrier. On a parallel Earth near the dawn of time, in a near mythological setting, the searchers experience an ancient Oracle and meet the demigod Star Wardens, who invoke a new human transition--which is the key to returning. |
