A vast alien war fleet threatens civilization. An interstellar romance is unhampered by the bounds of space and time.
As a hostile alien fleet destroys human space colonies, the populations of inhabited planets become paralyzed with fear, halting human expansion among the stars. Unaware that these events have transpired in his absence, Starship Captain Erik Houston returns to his home planet. Vessels like his travel at almost the speed of light, causing time to drastically slow down aboard ship. Star jumpers are thus turned into time travelers.
Houston can't stop thinking about Zama, that woman from his last mission. She was a planet dweller with whom he had worked under some difficult circumstances. A shocking discovery aboard his ship has led him to question her motives. He nevertheless seeks to get re-assigned to her planet. But instead, the brass sends his crew and he on a high-risk mission against the aliens. The humans face a number of life-threatening trials but some events seem like they were meant to be, as if an unseen hand were guiding things...
